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.

Ungstrup (23961) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 28, 2003
The aroma is of oranges, citrus, yeast, and cloves. The color is an unclear orange with a fine but collapsing head. The flavor is sweet of oranges, cloves, and the alcohol that discretely plays over the tongue. A fantastic flavor.

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 4, 2005
(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy and dirty (as most Dolle brews), orangey golden with a huge head.... Lots of fruity esters, lots of yeast and rather complex aromas. Sweetness galore from the added candi-sugars but the hops make this drinkable indeed. An Abbey Tripel - really? 081296

UPDATED: NOV 26, 2003 Sampled draught at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Murky dark yellow, lively rich head. Grassy hops up front. Sweet and full bodied with soft, rounded mouthfeel. Pepper and tar strikes, and then gentle toffee takes over until the grassy bitter finsih. Rich and complex.
Old rating, bottled. Dark yellow. Sweetish smell. Light and lively mouthfeel. Sweet and very hop aromatic. Big biterness. Very tasty! (8/4/8/15/16)

Hazy golden colour with huge white head. Aroma of citrus, yeast and spices. Very carbonated. Sweet fruity flavour with lots of spices and a well balanced bitter finish. Usuallt I’m not fond of tripel’s, but this one is good.

Bottle. Aroma is very nice, yeasty and powerful, fruity and citric. Unclear, golden colour. The head is white, fluffy and creamy, big and stable. Quite alcoholic tasting. A little sweet and fruity. The bitterness is a little bit harsh, but I guess that is OK for a tripel.

Hazy light amber color; highly carbonated, huge head. Mild aroma, sweet and spicy. The malt flavor is quite sweet and a bit spicy, very pleasant combination; it’s clearly alcoholic, with an unforgiving warming feeling. Average bitterness; possibly the bitterness has vanished a bit with time. Perfect maturity and balance for this beer.

Cloudy golden color. Nice aroma, like some white French wines. Malty; original taste, with a delicate wood note that adds a great complexity. I would like to try it aged and in a bigger corked bottle.
