3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Belgo (154) - Køge, DENMARK - JUL 9, 2005
Bottle. Light colour with a head not so long lasting as in the regular version of Duvel. Aromas of sweet pears and green apples. Taste is a bit thin and watery. Overall this tastes like a normal Duvel with water added. I prefer the normal version by far.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 madsberg (7300) - Søborg, DENMARK - JUN 25, 2005
Bottled: Pale yellow coloured. Clear. Huge huge dense off white head. yasty citric aroma with notes of spices and fruit. Flavour is sweet, light spiced, malty and has a sharp alcoholbackground. Is medium bodied. Too alcoholic in the end for my likings. I like the "real" duvel a lot better, eventhough this beer has a delicious aroma, the flavour unfortunately dosn’t live up to that.
3.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 LaChad (1375) - San Francisco, California, USA - JUN 5, 2005
Bottle. Yellow-orange appearance with spongy white head, sour yeasty aroma with some perfume thrown in there that I liked a lot. Rather thin and very "drinkable", if that is a good thing, for a 7.5% beer. Slightly sour flavor, faint apples, vinegar. Some hops but it just doesn’t give it much kick and this finishes up a little disappointing.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUN 2, 2005
(Bottle 25 cl) This green devil is a bit weaker than it’s red sibling. Lighter and more easy to digest. Nice without loosing the typical yeasty Duvel touches. Light and pale, but still rather potent in alcohol. 040996
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20 KariCupcake (214) - Lenox, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 22, 2005
Drank a bottle of this in Amsterdam. Gold color with very small head. Bitter smell and a bitter taste with a lot of fizz thrown in. Not a fan of the hoppy.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 FrkAabenhuus (147) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 18, 2005
Golden coloured with a huge white head. Very pale.The nose is very perfumed, a bit like sulfur, with sweet fruit and minty notes. The flavor is also funky, with some fruits, yeast and malt. Very fresh
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - MAY 13, 2005
UPDATED: AUG 24, 2008 A Mes rate: bottle from Moortgat. Almost like a pils. Very similar to the regular Duvel just a little paler and not quite so strong. Not so much novelty head like the regular Duvel either. Sweet, citric, malty with a longish bitter finish. Drinkable but not amazing but hey 8 free bottles from the brewery delivered by Duvel push bike cant be bad.
;D
1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 ericnixon (731) - Northampton, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 10, 2005
Duvel special with white label and green lettering. Yellow color beer with no real head, just a few foamy bubbles. Strong hoppy aroma. Fizzy mouthfeel and a mildly unpleasant aftertaste. Eh, nothing special at all.
