De Dolle Dulle Teve 10º (Mad Bitch)

Brewed by De Dolle Brouwers
Style: Abbey Tripel
Diksmuide, Belgium

Bottle. Cloudy dark yellow with floating particles and a white head. Aged malt, dust and light lemon/herbs in the nose. Flavor was sweet with notes of light caramel, lemon, grass, hay, fruity yeast character, mineral-like water and resinous bitterness. Full and round body with moderate carbonation.

bottle at ørsted, cph. aroma of yeast, sawdust, faint sweetness. appears cloudy yellow with a white head. flavor is alcohol, yeast , faint pices. there are sevral better abbey tripel out there if you ask me. or this bottle was perhaps not at its best.

Bottle. Poured a cloudy orange color with a huge sparse white head that quickly faded and left quite a bit of lacing. Aroma was orange and grapefruit, with something else that I can’t place. The flavor was slightly underwhelming. Sugar, grass and pepper with a tingly finish. Full bodied, with good carbonation and a clean mouthfeel. Overall I think this is a good beer, but not my favorite tripel

Brown bottle, 33 cl, best before JAN08, purchased via Importations Privées Bièropholie, savoured on December 8 2008, eye orangey caramel, lightly hazy, average effervescence, suspended matter, voluminous white head that falls and looks like foamy milk, a bit of lacing, nose yeast, banana, orange, citrusy, mouth alcohol, coriander, banana, yeast, orange, nice layer of caramel, finale in yeast and orange with a good presence of alcohol, foamy, mildly sweet, slightly bitter, full body, rather carbonated, overall quite likable

The pour was hazy gold with a nice white head that stayed around only briefly and did not produce much lace. The aroma was yeast, citrus, herbal, minty and corn syrup? The flavor was of a fairly standard tripel. Yeast, light spice and some citrus and banana flavoring. Nice mouthfeel, well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable.

Pours a peach colored brew with some amber, lots of fine floaties, gave a two to three finger high white foamy head, there were a few off-white bubbles, aromas of honey and sugar sweetness, some bananas and vanilla cake, faint floral and orange–lemon citrus fragrances, yeast in the background, no alcohol aroma, flavor is initially sweet with some honey flavor then changes to a medium bitterness and citrus-sour at the finish, flavor of pale malt, faint light fruit, pepper and light spice, no alcohol flavor but I can feel a touch of warmth on my tongue, mouth feel is medium maybe a touch more with nice carbonation on the palate, creamy feel, a very nice tripel ale.

Tasted like caramel candy, sweet and cloying, but with a background of assorted dark fruits and spices.

Sampled from an 11.2 oz brown bottle this beer poured a murky orange-golden color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly. The aroma was strong tart pineapple. The flavor was strong sweet, tart and tangy pineapple with a sugary and yeasty undertone. The finish was long sweet pineapple. The body was full. Marvelous!
