3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle @ Mondial 2008.
Aroma is malt, yeast, wheat? and a hint of citrus, light amber, a much smaller white head than it’s big brother. Flavour is malt, with strong alcohol. Full bodied, has a harshness not found in the big bro. This has been on my wish list for a long time, it was great to finally try it.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Bières cultes. Clear pale gold pour with white head. Aroma of fresh cut hay, belgian yeast, spruce, white pepper, maybe a hint of something wheaty. Taste is quite hoppy and peppery, alcohol is not perceptible (my bottle said 7%, not 7.5%). Palate is light with strong carbonation (but a little milder than regular Duvel). Tasty.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
25cl bottle, sadly Duvel is only a shadow of its former self.
Bref, déjà que la Duvel normale n’est plus comme avant, on a ici une version encore moins refermentée. Dorée avec un col blanc épais.
Ressent cette levure belge typique, malt pale et cara en retrait et ce profile métallique désagréable le tout sur une pointe de houblon amer.
Si cette bière n’avait pas Duvel dessus, on pourrait croire à un clone de Leffe. Malheureusement Duvel a arrêté d’être la vraie Duvel depuis qcq années.
