This review is for the 2014 vintage and was tasted on February 26th, 2015. The 2015 edition will be hitting stores soon!
Appearance: Gold, light haze, off white head, great retention.
Aroma: Banana, spice, banana creme, vanilla, mango, fruity, citrus hints.
Taste: Orange, Banana, spice.
Overall Impression: For as high as the ABV is, this is an incredibly smooth beer. Full bodied with a big bite, it has a very creamy mouthfeel that finishes long. Most of all, the big dose of hops really does bring the beer into balance. If you’ve never had a De Dolle beer, seek them out. And if you find this one, jump on it while you can. It’s worth the search.
Availability: Seasonally in very small quantities. Imported byB. United International.
12% ABV
