Pours a orange gold and has probably one of the most monster pure white heads I’ve ever seen. Aroma is spicey...cloves and coriander, funky yeast and brett, I’ll second the last guy that there is a bunch of pineapple and citrus, hints of bubble gum, and a bit of grassy hops. Flavor is pretty damn good...a bit funky as well. Begins with sweet malt, fruit (some sour grape), and spicey funk. Finishes wit a big funky bitterness from the bret and hops. I can dig this stuff. Honestly, mine might have been infected because I don’t see much mention of brett around here...and we’re talking ginourmous head. Mouthfeel is a bit thick for a light colored belgian...and very dry. I love the de dolle folks.

33 cl bottle. The bottle says 8%. Yeast at the bottom. Light amber colour with a huge head. Aroma of sweetness, spice, orange and pineapple. Very bitter flavour of malt and sweetness that ends up very dry and hints of spices.

Bottle. Poured a massive off white head that lasts the whole time your drinking this ale. Als had a odd greenish, brown, orange color to it. The taste was a little odd to me. I was expecting a tripel or something of that nature. Nice fruity flavoring. fruits, yeast, malts and some spice. Nice malty thickness to it. With a nice hoppy bitter finish. Have like everything fro De Dolle so far.

Bottled at Issac Newton’s. Pours a cloudy orange color with a large white lasting white head, it just hangs until the finish. Aroma of belgian style spices, citrus, fruit, yeast, alcohol and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet, fruity, citrusy, and a bitter hoppy bite for a finish good body great brew.

Heavy carbonation, with a nice cloudy gold body. Great apple and pine with hops in the aroma. Clean body, cloudy taste with fruit accents, awesome! Tangy ending.

330ml bottle. Pours cloudy golden orange with a fizzy white head. Fruity and yeasty aroma with a hint of celery salt.Flavor of wheat malt, spice, and apples. Finishes dry and with some mild bitterness and warming. Not bad, but there are better examples out there.
