Commercial Description:

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.

A very lively beer with a huge lasting off white head. The beer is a hazy orange. The aroma is spicy and yeasty with notes of corriander - I'm not able to pick out other spices. The flavor is sweet, spicy, malty with notes of yeast, corriander, and other spices. The mouthfeel is fine. I'll definatly have this again.

(Bottle 33 cl) Another mad brew from "De Dolle". Compared to "Oerbier" this is both lighter and more dry. At the same time it has the rather unusual character of being both tart and bitter at the same time. A beer you only drink if you’ve got time for the head to settle. Lots of time... 140194

Orange coloured with rich stable head. Very citrusy hoppy aroma. Rich and fruity, yet dryish. Complex with Aaricot finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours very lively with the classic and rediculous huge white De Dolles head. The beer is orange and almost clear. Aroma is fresh grapefruity hoppy. Flavour is sharp yeasty mixing in with a solid caramel malt sweetness and a decent bitterness in the finish. Straight forward yet powerful.

Bottle. Hazy, pale orange / golden color with big white head. Lots of fruity aromas. Lemon, banana, green apples and dried apricot. Taste is very complex and well balanced. Sweet malts and honey. Sweet and sour fruits. Fresh and flowery hops. Smooth mouthfeel.

Bottled (8%). Golden colour, huge, slightly off white fluffy, longlasting head. Aroma is spices, malts, yeast and some grassy notes. Flavour is yeast, fruits, hops and some spices. Wellbalanced and refreshing. Hides ABV very well.

Bottle. Citrusy aroma. Cloudy yellow colour. Big stable white head. Peppery, yeasty, citrusy, slightly sweet and quite bitter flavour.

Bottled. Hazy yellow colour with a huge white head. Fruity aroma with notes of spices and alcohol. Fruity flavour with notes of spices, wood and hops. Hoppy finish. Definitely not the best beer from De Dolle.
