The Ter Dolen brewery is located within the castle, Ter Dolen (The Dool) in Helchteren. The present castle dates back to the 16th century but the history dates further back, with the first entry being in 1282. The brewery was installed in the medieval castle front buildings in 1994. In 2008, Ter Dolen’s Blond, Dark, Tripel and Kriek became the first Limburg beers to be labelled as “Recognised Belgian Abbey Beer”.
Ter Dolen Armand is a fruity blond beer with an explosion of citrus aromas and flavours, resulting from dry hopping with Cascade hops. The beer is unfiltered in order to maintain the hoppy aroma as much as possible and pours slightly cloud with a bright white head.
Ter Dolen Armand is an award winning beer, having won a gold medal at the first International Belgian Beer Contest.

Very pleasant fresh tasting beer with a nice amount of bitterness. The dominant citrus flavour I get is grapefruit
Mark Charrington –
A slightly hazy rich lemon coloured beer with a fluffy head The nose has citrus toffee and barnyard hops The flavours include lemon white grape honey biscuit, bitter finish. Very quaffable and the cascade hops give a robust complexity

Pure Belgium. Moderately bitter and very much in your face

I like this, its fresh, its very drinkable, very lightly hoppy, ever so slightly bitter maybe. It looks like pineapple juice with a white head. Im quite annoyed i only added one bottle to my order.
