Bottled (as De Dolle 2002 Museum Bier). Hazy pale yellow colour with huge white foamy head. Citric malty and yeasty flavour. Witbier like, but with strong alcoholic flavour. Citric, bitter aftertaste.

4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: APR 18, 2005 2002 Museumbier... Poured a cloudy, opaque gold color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Funky barnyard, citrus, cloves, and yeast in the aroma. Sweet honey, vanilla, bitter citrus, lightly spicy, no alcohol.
2003 Oeral... Fresher sample, lower score. Drier than the Museumbier, more carbonation as well. I enjoyed the older better, though even fresh, its still a nice beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled, labelled as Museumbier (BB 09/2005)
Very hazy orange, huge cloudy white head. De Dolle nose: yeast, banana, leather and lemon. Smooth, carbonated, medium-bodied. Lemony with late citric bitterness and spices, some funky horseplanket flavors. When warms, gets more sweet notes.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Many pleasant and unusual. Extremely dense and bulky foam, much supporter and creamy. Yellow pale color, lightly veiled and enough bubbly. Alive and prickly taste, much tingly and agreeable. Movement, much more than mineral water. Aluminum, cedar, orange and rust taste. Seems an old and seasoned beer but it’s extremely moved. Persistent finish with reading mildew notes.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Label says Museum Bier. Light orange color, strongly cloudy appearance with very big white head. Strongly spicy, dry aroma. Flavor starts also with very strong spices, ends with dry mouthfeel and some skunky tones coming from spices. Some sourness in aftertaste. Very dry aroma and flavor, characteristic brew.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle: Poured a real hazy dark yellow color beer with a super huge head with excellent retention. Aroma is dominated by strong yeast with some notes of cloves. Taste is also dominated by yeast but is also well balance by the malt and some spices. The end is quite bitter and the body is full. Another gem from this fine brewery.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy golden colored beer with a big white head. Well balanced easty aroma. The taste gives me flavours of hops, malts and spices ending in a refreshing bitterness
