By using three instead of two hop varieties to brew, we obtain additional hop aromas and an increased bitterness. The typical Duvel palate is enriched with HBC 291 hops from the Yakima Valley providing fresh notes of citrus, black pepper, lavender and roses. HBC 291 hops are added again during ’dry-hopping’, extracting additional hop aromas into the beer. The higher aromatic intensity rounds out the beer, backing the final alcohol content of 9.5%.

Bottle. pale blonde. Citric, malty yet dry flavor. Slightly soapy but well hopped. Floral, perfumed. Soft floral hop aroma. Alcoholic. A bit too floral for my taste, but a decent beer.

330mL bottle, pours a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a little oxidized, with Belgian yeast, light floral hops, and candied notes. Flavour is along the same lines, with a nice Belgian yeast character, with candied sugar, cotton candy, and some cardboard. Not at peak level, but it's solid.

33cl bottle at home (1 V 2019), as Duvel Tripel Hop Experimental Hop HBC 291 (Styrian Golding). Large frothy white headed, yellow to golden Duvel with orange-green gloom. Towering hops and coriander notes with different citrus, yellow berries and zeste flavours, already hinting at a hoppy tripel with grand ABV. The mouthfeel has a stringent malt-hops balance, with quite a dry throat. Think also of leaves. The tongue is left with little sour features, such as rhubarb and gooseberry. One can notice the milk and yeasty background. The body is rather heavy - to be expected - yet the hybrid cartloads of hops and the heavy dashes of malts almost feels like a sketchy brewer's essay. Although this is not the best experiment, this brew still is a very solid, trademark Duvel Tripel Hop.

Aus der Flasche beim Hopfen und Malz Berlin 2016-04 getrunken. Diese helle und recht hefelastiges Bier kommt mit seiner deutlichen Hopfennote recht herb daher. Doch es ist übberraschend süffig.

Bottle. Mmmm overall a very pleasing beer and it superbly hids its aggressive 9.5%, I barely noticed it until I felt very much 9.5% affected. You can defnitely feel those hops and it is lovely to experience a kind of hop intensive belgian ale. Nothing crazy here but deeply satisfying.

0,33 l bottle. Pours quite clear yellow with solid snow white lasting head. Aroma is floral, herbal, citrus, peppery, grainy malt, light honey and quite a lot of yeast. Alcohol is hardly noticeable. Taste is medium sweet, light to medium bitter. Body is full and rich, texture is creamy, carbonation is average. Finish is very long, spicy bitterness intensifies as it worms up and it becomes less pleasurable with temperature.
