This beer was pleasant and certainly unique, but had a rather strong grainy-cereal note to it that I didn’t especially care for. On the other hand, it did have a peach-apricot fruitiness that I liked quite a bit. Sort of a mixed bag for me.
This beer was a cloudy tan color with a medium amount of off-white head. There was some sediment at the end of the bottle, but its appearance and quantity were nothing to get worked up about. Aroma was a malty, yeasty (thought I got some Brett-funk), and a bit fruity. Flavor was predominantly malt with kind of a lot of cerealness and a finish that was either peach or apricot. Mouthfeel was pretty viscous for what was a fairly light-drinking beer.
Not bad, and quite a bit different than other Belgian beers I’ve had in recent memory, but not really lip-smacking delicious either. Still, I’d recommend based on the uniqueness alone.
I had a bottle of this at the Palm Tavern in Milwaukee.

Oct 5, 2008 massive white head that sparkles in great rockiness, hazy dark yellow body with light yellow highlight, and few random streams of beading tiny bubbles; light banana, lightly puckering citrus, definitely yeasty, and barely any alcohol presence; somewhat thick and oily yet fizzy and creamy; very good.

Oct 1, 2008 I don’t think I’ll ever serve another Dolle beer below room temperature... took 10 minutes just to pour a decent glass on this hyperactive beast. Rich gold, the off-white head is mountainous. Strong spice and sour citrus nose, pepper, thick yeast... Wow is that dry and biting. Loads of bitter spice all over the flavor or grapefruit, , though it isn’t acrid like Oude Beersel. Super aggressive, this one makes Mad Bitch look like Gentle Housemaid.

Sep 28, 2008 Brewed in Belgium !! Pours a hazy yellow color with a small lasting white head. Aroma of yeast, with a strong fruit smell, pears, lemons, and oranges. The taste is of oranges, spices and a strong bitter flavor. The mouthfeel is foamy and robust.... and the 8% is very nice too. Another refreshing example from De Doll. :)
