It is one of the two main beers from De Dolle Brouwers available throughout the year. Aging time is limited due to the fact that hop bitterness declines with age.

11.2-oz. Pours a murky dark gold with a thick, fluffy, towering platinum blonde that settles to a rocky moonscape with tons of webby lace around it. Fresh, fruity, floral nose, a little bit of watermelon in there perhaps. Creamy medium body with tight fizz. Floral, grassy, slightly vinous. Maybe a little bit of citric brightness there. The whole hop thing seems very understated, and I would go so far as to say this beer is all about the yeast. It’s tasty, but a lot of sweet and a lot of booze to be drinking very much of.

Light orange-yellow with a thick three fingers of white puffy head. Aroma is dry musty, spicy. Taste is sweet citrus, then dry musty malt, and spices.

Hazy orange colour with an impressive head. BItter hops, citrus and spices in the aroma, and even more interesting nuances in the flavor.

11.2 oz. bottle courtesy of lamas. Poured very lively orange with bubbly white head. Splotches of lace. Some dark sediment at the bottom of the glass. Starts biscuity and finishes with some bittering citrus hops. Spicy. Dry finish. Extremely drinkable. Lovely Belgian strong ale.

Bottle @ De Kelk, Bruges. Purs slightly hazy with a huge cloudy head. The aroma s powerfully hopped, the malts give some deeper fruitess (raisins, dates) especially in the finish. Quite complex. The flavor is strong, both in bitterness and maltiness. It is quite dry in the finish with quite high bitterness. The palate is medium bodied, silky at first and sticky bitter in the finish, Top class drinkability.

330ml bottle - gusher, big gusher. Golden with big floaties - maybe this hasn’t travelled well...??? Lovely juicy aroma of pears, sweet tinned fruits and other goodies. decent bitterness which hides the alcohol well. Nice yeast attributed funk to it also. Low marks for the start but finished well.

Bottle, we have a gusher, this beer is livelym hopefully it’s not infected. Appears hazy orange with a tall white head. Lots of citris hops in the aroma, some light lemon. Taste is sweet with a bitterness that cuts in at just the right time. The alcohol is masked well.
