Horny Devil is our interpretation of a Belgian-style Golden Ale. Brewed with authentic Belgian ingredients including candi sugar and a Trappist yeast strain, its fruity and spicy aromas include notes of orange, banana, and peppercorns. Coriander seeds add refreshing citrus notes which meld seamlessly with the beer’s delicate malt. Horny Devil finishes with a lively carbonation and a refreshingly dry finish.

Beautiful clear gold with billowy white head. Nice spiced aroma with the coriander slightly showing. Taste starts smooth but a spike of sourness comes in that midway that disrupts the pleasure of this beer.

Bottle, 75cl. It’s an unclear, golden beer with some microfloaties and a dense, finger-thick head. Some alcohol on the nose, lots of fruityness and a spiced touch. Sweet, spiced flavor with tropical fruits, sweetness, alcohol, sweetness and a touch of bitterness. Full-bodied and quite carbonated, finishing sweet and bitter. Overall, a tad too alcoholic and way too sweet. Still, looking forward to having more of it. 110401

Pretty standard yellow golden color. Weird smell, pretty spicy or herbal. Sweet taste with too much coriander, not nice. Mouthfeel good though.

Re-rate 13/08/12 Smells like a Wit. Big tangy flavours again, so small increase in score. Previous rating 19/06/11 6+3+7+4+13=3.3 33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/yellow. The nose has oranges, herbs and candied sugar. The taste is of zesty orange, cream, so like an orange meringue overall. The palate has a rich structure, a thick texture but still quite a refreshing finish. Overall, very rich and complex,
