De Dolle Arabier

Bottle bought at Sams in Chicago, and drank at 1130 before a wedding. Pours a cloudy orange with a thick and very powerful head. Mountainous. The aroma is full of yeast, spices, and tons of alcohol. The flavor was mostly a rich and full spice profile, along with tons of yeast, apples, and a very dry finish. Great. I enjoyed this one early and pretty warm.

What a beer. Pours a thick cloudy mud-yellow color that can be likened to the color of plum flesh. The flavors are incredibly dry and incredibly tart and crisp. Flavors of bubble gum, balloon air, lemony leather and apple skins. Not much hop profile at all, but that’s to be expected. A wonderfully done beer once again.

Aroma is of apples, citrus fruit, cookie, and plums. Flavor is the same. Golden/amber color. Bubbly on the palate with a bitter and sour finish.

Bottle. A moderately bitter bite cuts through the fruity sweetness and clove spiciness for a well-balanced and complex beer. Huge, rocky, white head that lasts. The body is hazy and dark yellow. The aroma is fulll of clove, honey, lemon, pineapple, mustiness and flowers. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter, but the finish turns moderately bitter and then somewhat sour. Medium body and velvety texture with lots of carbonation. Real craftsmanship is evident in the ability of the beer to present so many aromas and flavors without having them trip over and run into each other. Excellent.

Blond coloured beer with large white head. In the beginning an uncontrolable head. I had my work to stabalise it ;-). Only few carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Full palate. Finish is hoppy and a little herby.
