Crystal clear golden coloured body with a very frothy white head and millions of small bubbles rising from the bottom - looks absolutely great! Stunning aroma of clover honey, yeast, pears, figs, fennel, grass, flowers, wheat and a bit of coriander seed - very nice! Medium-bodied; Effervescent taste up front with a good malty backbone, almost bitter leading to a sweet honey flavour fading to a very herbal and floral finish - complex for being a rather light beer. Aftertaste shows bitter overtones with some sweet tastes as well. Overall, very pleasing for such a light beer! This one could be drunk pretty much anytime during the day, even early in the afternoon on a hot day. I’ve never seen this beer in the states, so I had to purchase it overseas when I first saw it - even though it is popular as a De Dolle! I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Bier Temple in Bruxelles, Belgium on 28-February-2008.

De Kavijaks: Yellow with a big white head. Fruity aroma with especially pineapple and orange. Very dry with fruit notes, some pepper and hops in the background.

Botttle at the De Dolle brewery, Esen, Belgium, 24-06-07. This is a really nice summer beer pouring a hazy dark golden colour. I was told by Kris the brewer that it shared many of the characteristics of the Arabier without the intense dry hopping metered out to its stablemate, still it was very good, little fruity and with a less harsh bitterness.

bottle at home ... Golden orange ... huge loose foam head ... sweet sharp hoppy fruit ... juicy hop resins ... quite fruity ... Masssive bitter background ... and an odd touch of saltyness.

33 cL bottle (labelled as Kavijaks). Pours hazy orange with a finger thick white creamy/crispy head. Aroma is light fruity, a slight leather note. Heavy carbonation. Flavour is sweet, flowery hops, there is a mild smoke note appearing before going into a long lasting bitterfinish. The smoke is blending in with a peach fruit note. I don’t like the blend :( but appreciate that this is wellbrewed.

Bottle. 2003. Hazy yellow / orange color with a huge frothy good lacing fully lasting white head. Aroma is fruity, lemon, acidic. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light acidic and bitter with a average duration and a very good balance. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very nice ;o))

A hazy blonde orange ale with an extra thick creamy white head. I agree this is in Orval land! A funky pleasant aroma of Brett, earthy, and coriander. In mouth, a good spiceyness, with coriander, orange, a light creamy sweetness....a superb ale from De Dolle. Bought in Gent, Nov. 2006.

(33 cl bottle marked 2003, at The Rover in Gothenburg) Shady yellow color with a huge white head. Typical Belgian scent, though it also has a bit flowery spicy herbal note to it. Bitter taste, very surprising considering the smell. Medium mouth feel. High bitterness.
