750ml C & C Bottle: GUSHER! Very sweet aroma of hops, citrus, apples, fruit nectar, Belgian yeast, and fruit. Poured yellow/gold in color with a huge, creamy, loose, what head that diminished but lasted throughout. Hazy. Very sparkling. Excellent lacing. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet and light to medium bitter. Tastes of alcohol, Belgian yeast, fruit, marzipan, hops, and a hint of berries. Medium body. Fizzy, tingly, then very dry texture. Lively carbonation. Light to medium sweet, medium bitter, hops, Belgian yeast, fruit, and light alcohol finish is bone dry. 9.5% is hot in the flavor and palate. Disappointed.

UPDATED: MAY 12, 2012 Pale yellow fluffy head with good lacing. Nice aroma of fresh fruit spice floral lemon,pilsner malt sweetness pastry butterscotch. Good smooth taste front of the tongue bittering tartness,citrus smooth and refined but strong,some light breadiness, lemon,grassy rindy lemon bittering finish.Very good worth 20$ a bottle?Mmm not really.

Light cloudy yellow with a thick white foam. Aroma is sort of a citrus Belgium. Taste is lemon, clove, hops and light malt. Citrus finish. High carbonation. This is a really great beer. A surprising step up on regular Duvel. More beer please...

Bottle at ZBF’12, Leuven, Belgium: Clear golden brew with the famous Duvel taste with some extra an American hoppy appearance.

Bottle, brewed May18 2010. Pear & subtle pine aroma. Cloudy yellow body with medium lasting head, nice lacing. Flavor begins with the saaz, followed by pear, amarillo, spices and slight funk. Dry, Crisp, tart and slightly bitter at the same time. Hides the alcohol well, an amazing beer.

Bottle 750ml. Pours hazy blond with low white head. Aroma is spicy, citrus, hops. Taste is of malt, spices, and citrus. Nice balance.

Bottle 750 ml. Appearance: Hazy blond with a medium white head. Aroma: Citrus, hops and underlying sourness. Taste: Citrus, hops, malt and spices. Palate is dry. Overall: Refreshing but could use more balance.

(750ml bottle) Courtesy of Left4beer. Lasting thin white head atop a cloudy yellow amber. Nose is wonderfully yeasty, white wine and alcoholic. Nice hop base. Very enjoyable. --- reviewed on RateBeer.com

I really like this. I scored this at a specialty liquor store for $12. Shouldn’t really be called Duvel because it tastes nothing like it. I can barely taste the Pilsner malts. Which is a plus for me. Soft and creamy. Hoppy and delicious. Everlasting lace. Sweet, honey, spicy and lemon. Although this is a high quality brew and usually goes for $20 or more. I would probably skip it and buy some tasty less expensive brews.

(Bottle) Pours pale golden with a foamy head. The aroma holds almond paste, bitter almonds, pears, green apples and light orange juice. Light notes of old spicy/herbal hops, doughy/spicy yeast, bready/grainy malt and some alcohol. The flavour is near medium sweet, light bitter and light to medium acidic. Tones of dough, almond paste, fruit, citrus, alcohol, spices, grainy bread and yeast. The mouthfeel is round and tiny sticky with a medium carbonation. The finish holds acid, alcohol and dough. Medium bodied.

Bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Bottled on 18 mei 2010. Cloudy yellow-orange with champagne bubbles, and a medium-sized fluffy white head. Excellent retention and heavy cumulus lace. Floral, grass, fruit, yeast, and pepper aromatics. Delicate and dynamic. The palate matches the nose, continuing the hops and yeast parade. Medium-light body, yeasty texture, heavy carbonation, and and oily-dry finish.
