Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a huge frothy head that fades normally. Big aroma of berries, spices, bananas, bubble gum, and sweet honey. Taste is moderately sweet with lots of berries and spices. Kind of a mess, so much Belgian spice. Honey and bubble gum show in the taste too. High fizzy carbonation, typical of these Belgian beers. Overall, not a big fan of this but certainly not bad. Just too much spice and too much fruitiness.

Orange colour, a lot of foam. Very well balanced beer. Aroma of honey, spices, banana. Full body. Taste between sweet and bitter.

Flaska från beernavigator. Stor typiskt belgisk doft. Mycket jäst, honung, pomerans/apelsinskal och tunga blomdofter. Stark och söt men samtidigt lätt. Mycket belgisk karaktär. Smakbild som en blond eller stram trippel men med alkoholen får allt mer muskler. Mycket pomerans, apelsin, blomarom, bra balans, tydlig pomeransbeska. Ett öl jag blev väldigt förtjust i.

Poured alight amber with a small, disappearing off white head. Aroma of honey sweet malt and vanilla with berry fruit. Medium body, flavour of zesty orange with little aftertaste.

Flaske delt med Johnne på Cafe Viking, mai-13: tårnhøjt skum, heldig at vi hadde to glass for hånden. Belgisk gjæraroma i lange baner, kombinert med kandissukker, alkohol og akkompagnert av fruktige, lett krydrede noter. Dette sammen med sødmen i smaken gjør dette til en fin ølopplevelse, og jeg har ennå til gode å få et øl fra De Dolle som jeg ikke liker.

Nice looking, hazy, golden, glowing beer. Massive Hubba Bubba nose. Now that’s not an insult.... It’s the aroma. Strong smell of blue bubblegum and a bit fruity to boot. First swig tasted like unripe banana with honey and the sour Belgium trademark flavours running around, but turned hoppy bitter on the way down. Like chewing gum with all the flavour chewed away and a bit sulphurous...... Leaving my tongue feeling like its been licked by a cat. Strangely enjoyable.

Bottle @ delirium. Bottiglia non invecchiata. Dopo essermi divertito a leggerne la storia ho versato in uno snifter. la schiuma è poderosa, compattissima, stabile ma scompare piuttosto rapidamente (1 minuto e ci sarà solo un lieve strato). Il colore è ambrato, o ruggine a seconda dei riflessi. Il profumo è di miele, di spezie ( a me ricordava la cannella e lo zenzero) e decismanete alcolico. All’assaggio ritorna il gusto del miele, una intensa luppolatura agrumata, ed un bel calore alcolico che la attenua. C’è una indefinita sensazione di dolcezza, ma va e viene,e non riesco ad indentificare la fonte (zucchero di canna?). Corpo rotondo e finale secco e pastoso.

The added honey makes this a nice beer, because other than that it’s a typical Belgian Strange ale. Bottle from De Schans.

Bottle: Medium sized, vast and slowly disappearing or changing fluffy white foamy head on top of a cloudy yellow orange colored beer. Aromas of grains, glue, spices, some fruit and creamy barleys. Pretty basic. Flavours of glue, grains, alcohol, spices, cream, nasty malts, nasty herbs, nasty bitters. This is not what I expected. Close to a drainpour, maybe this will become a drainpour. Not good! Aftertaste of grains, herbs, nasty malty bitters and a growing spicy tone. Low carbo, soft creamy light spicy mouthfeel, medium to full body and a creamy texture. What the fuck happened with this beer? Only the palate, color and carbo are good! Don’t like it!
