Commercial Description:
De Dulle Teve is brewed in the tradition of a Belgian Triple. Its high density stems from large amounts of pale malt increased with pale candi sugar in the brew kettle. Unfiltered, unpasteurized, bottle-conditioned.

De Dulle Teve keeps two to three years without major changes in taste. Further maturing, up to 10 years, will cause it to darken a little and lose some of its bitterness. The bittering of about 30 IBU is due to Goldings hops in the brew kettle.

330ml bottle. Pours a very cloudy golden with a massive four finger head that takes a good ten minutes to fade to a thick cap. The remaining foam leaves behind a ton of lace on the glass. Snell; it took a while before I could get a goof whiff of this one with the huge head. Once it settles though there was a bunch of tropical fruits with pineapple, tangerine and peaches. There’s also a pretty good malty backbone in here, and a bit of a spiciness form the yeast. Taste; the fruits are very evident with the pineapples and peaches coming through the most, but there’s a really nice earthy/herbal presence that I wasn’t expecting. The sweet malts come through as caramel, sugar cookies and a little honey. The finish is a touch on the spicy side from the yeast and some alcohol. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a bit of a biting carbonation, and the drinkability is good. I bought my bottle several months ago, and it took me forever to get around to it because I was a little sick of tripels at the time. I’m glad I waited until now because I think I enjoyed more now than I would have when I purchased it.

7-8 year old update, courtesy TheCheeseMan, from boboski’s cellar. 750ml bottle. Incredible how well this brew has held up over the years. So few brewers do Tripels well. This is one of them. Great beer.

Rated 8/3/07. Bottle at Redlight Redlight. Courtesy boboski. Cloudy yellow-orange body. Thin white head with a prominent rim around the edges. Minimal, spotty lacing noted. Aroma was sweet banana, sour lemon, yeast, and coriander. The fruity esters really almost fizz on the nose, which is quite pleasing. The flavor incorporates all of the aromas, along with a good dose of creamy lemon meringue and a mildly dry, spicy finish. Medium body that goes down incredibly smooth. Great beer.

Bottel.33cl. What a head, over the top aroma of sweetnes and souer notes, and it come´s together just nice. The taste is just the same what a beer.

Very spicey and peppery. Bitter and hoppy with an nice warm alcohol waft at the end of each sip. Nice color with a massive rocky head. Color darkens with age and looses some of the bitter notes, so drink while it is young.

Bottle: Poured a golden color with a fast acting white creamy head also as you reach the end of the bottle the sediment begins to appear. The aroma is a citrus of some sort and spicy yeast. The taste is very sweet fruity spice, there is also that yeasty taste to it as it finishes. Another fine sample by De Dolle to grace my lips.

Bottle. Sweet aroma, yeast with lemon and orange peel, bready and full. Angular coriander. Pepper and apple and a touch of alcohol. Very heavily sedimented orange-golden pour with a big soapy, fizzy off-white head. Big, bold taste, boozy sweetness behind yeast, crème brûlée, vanilla, lemon and orange, coriander, ginger. Loaded with fruity esters and floral spices, wildly robust and assertive. Sweet and tart. Full body begins crisply but smooths out, warms by the end as the rush of alcohol makes its presence known. Er, I mean burns the throat. Aftertaste is yeasty, bready, and somewhat dry. Tons going on here, yet a lovely, flavorful blend seems as natural and simple as can be. A tripel to recommend!
