3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft. Clear golden hue with dissipating white head. Nose is subtle, but sweet malts and spices peek through. Flavor is pure Duvel clone with a bit more bitter grassy hop presence and spice profile, nice complexity and dry finish. An impressive angle on a Belgian classic, smooth and easy at 7%!

2009 Bottle - Pours a beautiful hazy golden with a large off white head...aroma is very inviting, malty and spicy, dough and honey, very lightly herbal...flavour shows a ton of that herbal quality, almost tea-like, with lemon and honey, grain and a sweet malt finish...light despite a ton of flavour...this was awesome

Got to try this at an RB/BA tasting at the "hannont" abode a few weeks ago, thanks to someone from MD. Colour... light, cloudy straw with a thick head that dissipated quickly. Nose... very floral and hoppy with hints of yeast and tea. Palate... sweet, lightly caramel-like with yeast and toffee.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. It’s an almost clear, golden beer topped by a big, white head. Grainy, fruity nose with citrus, white sugar and a touch of spicyness. Pretty much the same in the mouth, full-bodied, well carbonated and with a warming alcohol burn. Nice bitterness that lasts. A bit more edgy than Duvel, but definately a nice beer. Would expected a darker beer to honor the prince of darkness though. 091024

A: Pours a pale yellow hue with a big white head. Lots of fizz rising to the top as tiny bubbles.
S: Nice blend of spice, apple, pale malt and sweet fruit.
T: Fruity with a nice spice blend. Hints of hay and a bit of bitter hops in the finish.
M: On the lighter side. Nice snappy carbonation.
D: An okay version of the style.
