On tap at the brewery. Golden with a thick white head. Malty and hoppy notes.
Lots of fruit, hops and malt. Medium to full body with a nice dry finish.

Pours a cloudy, murky, sediment filled orange with a huge long lasting white head. Nose is kind of faint, but exhibits a cool spiciness as well as some orange peel and citrus. Very full funky creamy mouthfeel with a huge dose of carbonation. Brewfiend hit it right on the head in that it tastes like a citrusy saison. Very nice orange like citrus as well as a huge dose of funky earthy yeast spice and white pepper.

What a cool beer!
Ok, pours a cloudy gold with a very potent head. Awesome. Smells like spice and sweet cake. Tastes like it smells but is very dry and yeasty. Can taste banana like flavors, but also orange peel and weird funky dry yeast.Tastes like an overexposed photograph of a spicy cake. A very champagne like dry finish. Although its not a heavy or dense, this is a complex and flavorful drink - I think it’s a tad underrated. Well balanced and highly drinkable. De Dolle does it right!

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
0.33 l bottle (8 %). Orange color, very foamy. Slightly acid, tart, fruity, phenolic and buttery aroma. Sweet and slightly sour flavor with herbal dry hops, grapefruit and clove. Few years ago I had a much better bottle of this.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hazy brown/gold with foamy head. Yeasty, wheaty notes are present as well as peppery apple, and spice aromas, cloves, coriander, citrus and slight alcohol scents. Green apples and wheat flavors appear at the front of the flavor, developing malted, light sugary tastes and layered spice experiences with a touch of warming alcohol as well. The beer overall leaves a drying spicy sourness which is not overwhelming, but rather pleasing.

UPDATED: APR 24, 2008 Rating update: On tap at the De Dolle brewery, with Kris, Kris’ lovely mum, Carlo, and some other new friends. Previous rating still works, except that fresh like this it had a beautiful anise seed note in the aroma. Really a stunning beer, and a privilege to taste it here.
Previous Rating: Bottle, with Fin, Loz and Traci. Hazy orange, nice tower of pretty white head. Candy sweet hops, herbal, dandelion. Menthol fresh, brisk hopping, wheaty sweetness, touch of alcohol warmth leading to a clean finish. Really nice beer! I was surprised to read this is all malt--impressive to get a refreshing beer like this without any sugar in the fermentables. Thanks Fin! (8/4/8/4 16)
