2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
33cl bottle, tulip glass.
Pours a cloudy orange with a thick white head.
Smells of flowers, citrus, and spiced malt.
Heavily carbonated, fizzy on tongue.
Tastes of bitter citrus, slightly salty aftertaste.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Bitingly triple-coriander aroma that hints at sweetness that is not to be found in the beer. This golden beer, with a tufty, excessive white foam head, is all mustardy coriander. It tastes as if there is no sugar, and maybe a small amount of one or two complementary spices. It’s all dry, almost to the point of being salty, a little bit sour, a littl ebit of a not too pleasant hop, a little bready. Wanted to find something to like here, but it comes across as a below average tripel style ale. Not up to par for the brewery.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Hight white head. Yellow unclear body. Banana aroma. Grapefruit flavor. I am sure it is intended that this beer should be sour. Not my taste.

This is a 2003 version. The head is huge and lasting, leaving islands of foam. The color is hazy, light amber. The aroma makes me think of medicine and the flavour is difficult to describe, but I’ll try. It has notes of citrus and some kind of spice. It’s like a harsh, uncoated pill that clings to your mouth, and you are desperately trying to swallow. I also get notes of resin and mould. I simply do NOT like this one...

While De Doller’s Dulle Teve is an excellent beer, De Dolle Oeral 2003 has a very strong flavor of yeast with an added bitterness. The overall flavor of this beer is musty and with very little aroma. It may be a crazy beer, but this is only due to it’s unnecessary exaggerated yeasty flavor, which makes it crazily unbearable to drink!
