Old bottle found in the fridge at Anke's place, best before: 4/2017. Pours clear golden with a lasting, foamy, white head; some lacing. The aroma contains citrus, mandarin, green apple, spices, honey, yeast, some jenever. It tastes medium fruity sweet, a bit citric, and light to medium spicy bitter, some yeast & bread. Dryish, spicy finish, lingering fruitiness (apple). Medium body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. It probably doesn't age well, and it doesn't have the features of its big brother, but all things considered, this is 'okay'.

clear golden colour, large, dense and quite stable white head; aroma of grains, hay, floral and fruity notes, as well as some coriander; taste is the same with peppery and earthy-yeasty notes and quite intensive carbonation; really ejnoyable Belgian ale

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, white head. Taste: Over medium sweet malt, notes of honey and white sugar, hints of apricots. Medium to above medium body, below average carbonation. Pretty long sweetish finish. Little bit sticky mouthfeel. Smooth, easy drinkable. Enjoyable.

0,25 flaske fra Belgisk Bryg, delt med Steven på hytta okt-17: klar gylden med ok skum. Fersken, hvit pepper, blomsterhonning og noen vegetale toner. Bitterheten opplevdes som skarp i første slurken, men den mildnet etter hvert og ble riktig så behagelig. Slank for sin voltstyrke, lett å drikke og med noe honningsødme helt i slutten. De siste slurkene hadde også noe blomsteraktig i seg (fioler?).

Bottle shared with Zlotta and Koelschtrinker. Klare hell goldgelbe Farbe, mittelgroße weiße schaumkrone. Geruch ist kräftig malzig, süß malzig, gelbe Früchte. Geschmack ist süß, reife Früchte, Getreide.

Just a bit sweet, moderately bitter, rather grassy-spicy, floral, slightly fruity and a little herbal taste of lemon peel, fresh grass, pineapple, some honey and a touch of crackers, followed by a short, medium bitter, grassy-spicy and quite dry finish. Medium body, fairly effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Way better than last time I drank this (because it's a lot fresher), has a refreshing hoppy character and is just not as heavy as the regular Duvel.Old rating: Sampled from 0.25 l bottle from 'Belgiuminabox.com', best before April 2017.
