Top fermented and bottle conditioned, De Dolle Dulle Teve ("Mad Bitch" in English) is a Belgian Tripel that pours pale hazy gold with a frothy off-white head.

Aromas include green apple, banana, lemongrass, pear and caramel with darker sweeter fruit notes evident as the brew warms.

Taste follows the nose and also includes notes of honey, spice and clove.

Pale candy sugar added to the brew maturation process helps pump up the ABV to 10.0% but does not otherwise affect taste. The finish is bone dry with some hop bitterness and a hint of sweetness.

Food Pairings

Try this one with rich, soft-ripened cheeses, flavorful seafood stews or steamed mussels. Serve at 50 – 54 degrees F.


Located in Esen, a small town in the West Flanders region of Belgium, the brewery of De Dolle Brouwers ("The Mad Brewers" in English) was founded in 1980 by brothers Kris and Jo Herteleer.

A closed and dilapidated brewery site with nearly 150 years of history came to the attention of the brothers Herteleer, one a medical student and the other an architectural student and award-winning home-brewer. Looking to take a chance and make a change, they purchased and rehabilitated the brewery. Friends and neighbors told them they were crazy to pursue such a venture (perhaps the reason they called themselves The Mad Brewers) but skill and persistence paid off.

Their very first commercial offering, Oerbier, was released to high acclaim both locally and internationally and remains to this day the brewery's flagship ale.

Relying on meticulous attention to quality, a tried and true application of brewer's savvy and innovation, and an irrepressible talent for witty and whimsical promotion, De Dolle Brouwers built (and maintains) a loyal and vocal following and remains a revered and formidably successful producer of the Belgian Strong Ale style with exports worldwide.

Even when pouring properly and leaving the yeast dregs behind the beer is cloudy. De Dolle beers seem to be very rustic and not a refined beer. The Tripel was just OK.
