Bottle (250ml) shared with GregClow & tupalev -- courtesy of jerc. Pours a clear yellow with an average size lasting foamy white head. Aroma’s sweet and yeasty along with light spicy hops. Flavour’s slightly sweet with yeast, grain, sweet malt and alcohol. Dry finish. Average bodied. Compared to regular Duvel it’s just O.K. but on it’s own it’s a good beer.

Not bad. LIke a wheat almost with a citric sweet taste and a fruity smell. Banaish is a (made up) word that comes to mind. Almost no bitterness at all. Looks good too, golden with white head (that does not last very long though). Nice.

2008-04-05. Crisp yellow body with a good sized puffy foamy white head. Dry moderately alcoholic aroma, floral and baking flour notes. over sweetish pale malt. (6+) Similar flavour, dry alcohol weaved with sweeter pale malt, light bitterness throughout. (6+) Average palate. Shows potential at times, but overall its just a touch dull.

Bottle, 250ml. A golden colour with a small head. A spicy aroma with hints of Belgian yeast. Taste is caramel an homey with a fair bit of spice and a hint of malt. A slight citrus hint in the finish. Alcohol somewhat more noticeable than regular Duvel, I think. Moderate carbonation. A really tasty brew.

A nice blonde that sticks out in fewer places than its big brother. From bottle at Belga Cafe in Brussels. Pours clear, bright, sparkling gold with fluffy white head. Moderately sweet, honey-like, grainy nose. Flavor is moderately sweet, bubbling into mild bitterness. Crisp. Good balance. Less sweet, bitter and warming than regular Duvel. Pretty refreshing for its abv. Nice beer.
