3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle: Hazy yellow with a thin white head, rich yeast, apples, and musty bread, medium bodied with active carbonation, starts and ends sweet. Long grainy aftertaste.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
A weaker version of the Red Duvel. Lighter in color, body and flavor. Head doesn’t last as long. would much rather drink the other.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottled. Lightly hazy, golden ale with a nice, dense, white head. Yeast, cellar, sweetness and malt in the aroma. Some alcohol too. The flavor is quite sweet, with alcohol and some hops. Ok body, but a bit too much on the alcohol-side. The red Duvel is better. (060530)
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle. Clear and golden in colour with a small head. Sweet an dfruity with notes of citrus. more mild than the red one.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Aroma is fruity yeast and alcohol. Flavour is fruity yeast and alcohol.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Funny this. The aroma is very much like the red Duvel which is one of my favourite beers. This clear filtered version has less creaminess and body than the red. Nice citric fruit still though. Nice and juicy. Prefer the red label though.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
light clear yellow colour, some more clear than the ordinary Duvel. Small white head, Light malty aroma, medium to full body, some sweeter touches, light bitter, not bad, but I prefer the Red Duvel, which has more body, and finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Clear golden with a medium, big-bubbled head. The honey-fruity, slightly alcoholic nature of Duvel is present in the aroma. The flavor, on the other hand, is quite a bit more harsh and acidic after the filtration, and the alcohol is more pronounced. Lots of cooked vegetables, actually. The acidity sticks to teeth for a long time. Medium-bodied, very carbonated palate. Like a filtered Hefeweizen, this really feels raped. More alcoholic than the regular one, despite the 1% less ABV. Another one into the never again category.
