Corruption, Greed and Lust, they’re all represented on the books today. Tomorrow they’ll be stringing Gluttony, Desire and Sloth. Go ahead, tell yourself you’re better than all of them. But you can’t. Hell can be funny like that. Down here it’s all just sin. Everyone here is screwed just like you. They don’t care who you sliced, diced or cheated. No one is escaping this heinous place.
Your roommate is an axe murderer. Eerily, he’s not threatening. How can he be? The Fallen Angel owns your body, mind and soul. As such, no one can take your life. It’s already been taken. Or was it given? Neither matters. Did you seriously think you were living a virtuous life? At least Satan serves beer in Hell. He brews it himself right there in that flame stoked cauldron. Rumor has it the beer is straw yellow, bone dry and simply labeled Inferno.

Bottle from Beermerchants.com. Pours a golden/yellow colour with a white long lasting head. Good carbonation and great lacing around the glass. Aromas of pears, raspberrys, citrus, peaches. A nice fruity aroma. Flavours of pear, citrus, coriander, sweet spices. Good fruity, hoppy bite in the finish.

A fairly straightforward, golden belgian ale, reminiscent of Duvel, but lacking that beer’s rustic complexity - semi-dry, with just a mild sweetness behind that - some herbal bitterness, light spicy character, moderate yeasty character - some peppery note and a very mild yogurt-ish quality way in the back - enjoyable, but forgettable - I’d probably enjoy it more if it were "bone dry" like the commercial description states.

Bottle. Poured highly carbonated gold with an off-white head. Aroma was quite sweet full of fruits and citrus with a perfume undertone. Flavor is sweet of citrus fruits and coriander. Quite enjoyable.

Bottle with many thanks to gorditoabd. Pour is a hazy, light orange with a big fizzy head that dies quickly to a sudsy and lacing head. Aromas are sharp lemon with a little bit of a sour funk and chamomile. First reactions to it are that, while it is a little thin, it needs this to be what it is. It is very crisp and refreshing and hides its ABV well (at least until you feel a little warmth deep in the throat well after the fact.) In a lot of ways it comes across as a very good brew for the dog days of summer, but the ABV will probably destroy you in the hot sun.
