Smells kind of fruity but full of alcohol. It is rather light in flavor except for the noticeable alcohol tase. In fact, as fas as Belgians go, it is rather poor.

Bottle: Aroma is fruity, yeasty, and citrusy. Pours a dull cloudy orange with no transparency. Soapy off-white head with very good retention. Fruity and yeasty with a pretty big lemon flavor as well. Rather spicey and hoppy finish. Very acidic. They’ve done better.

Hazy golden color, light yeasty aroma and taste, medium body, full dry finish.

Trockener Antrunk, nur vereinzelt lassen sich Kräuternoten finden, auch die Hefigkeit ist schwach. Im Verlauf wird es nicht besser, die Aromen bleiben schwach. Montoner Ausklang mit schwachen Kräutern. Scheint, als sollte ich hier nochmal eine frischere Version testen. 9/8/8/7/9/8

33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temp in a tulip glass.
App.: GUSHED and I lost about half the bottle. Very cloudy, dirty light orange, HUGE off-white meringue.
Aroma: Yeast and bread, funk and tang, citrus notes and dirty coriander, some alcohol, a bit of cherries, apples, apricots, and sour, acidic fruits, slight wood and definite alcohol.
Palate: Medium body, powdery and soft effervescence.
Flav.: Slightly funy, lots of fruit, some yeast and dough, leafy hops; fair bitterness on swallowing, too much alcohol for me; slightly sweet.
I don’t think I get it. I’ll try the other bottle sometime. ratebeer told me this is beer #420. I wish I could celebrate...

a little dissapointed in this one for a De Dolle. Maybe it was just a bit off - will have to try this one again.

Fragrance: yeast, citrus, fruit, hops, alkohol and wheat. The taste is the same but especially distinct is bitterness and yeast. No, this is not a beer for me, do not like the acrid and soapy bitterness!
