Bottiglia. La finezza olfattiva è elevata, con un tipico profumo da birra belga, e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è grossolana. Il liquido si presenta velato. Il colore è giallo dorato carico. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è di media potenza e c'è anche una componente moderatamente acidula. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di crosta di pane, cereali, pepe bianco, agrumi, arancia, pesca a pasta gialla, vino bianco e acetoso.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is yeasty and a bit floral with fruity notes, some citrus and apricot, pale malt, fruit peel, hop. Flavour is light sweet and light to moderate bitter with a hint of tartness. Medium body. Fruity and yeasty, a floral meadow, hops. There's a lot of what I love about Belgian brewing in this bottle.

bottiglia 33 cl, schiuma bianco sporco fine persistente, colore giallo arancio torbido, al naso è intensa lieviti belgi scorza d’arancia spezie pepe leggero Funky, in bocca è speziata acidula limone pepe tante spezie note erbacee, corpo medio leggero, watery, carbonazione forte, amaro moderato, super attenuata molto secca nel finale. A primo impatto mi ha spiazzato ma bevendola capisci che è fatta da chi sa fare la birra ed emergono tutti i suoi pregi. TOP come solo De Dolle sa fare. c. Birraland.it 25.11.23

Donkergeel bier met schuim. Smaak is licht zuur met iets van citrus. Het heeft ook een licht zure geur die doet denken aan een wild bier.

The aromas are a good blend of malt, yeast, hops, spice and white wine. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, adding in some citrus with very smooth balanced bittersweet. Great body and carbonation with slightly chalky finish. Nice drinking beer.
