60% Tripel, 40% Extra. Subtly hopped, fruity, and full-bodied flavor.

Duo is a golden-blonde Trappist beer from Westmalle, with an alcohol content of 7.2%. The beer combines the freshness of the Extra with the fruity body of the Tripel, resulting in a refined balance of hop and fruit aromas. The six different hop varieties lend the beer its distinctive freshness, while the fruity notes provide a soft finish.

The full-bodied, creamy taste and subtle hop bitterness give the beer a rich aftertaste, with a characterful finish that invites another sip.

On tap @ de Tol.
Clear golden with a white head. Hoppy aroma with some yeasty notes. Sweet taste with a proper bitter dry finish. Great combo of the Extra and the Tripel but I still prefer them seperately.

Licht troebele strougoudgele kleur en een fijne witte schuimkraag met prima retentie. Geur is zoetig, kandij, fruitig, waarbij het fruit wat meer uitgesproken is in de mond. Smaak is bitterig, licht zoetig. Medium body. Milde bitterheid blijft hangen. Ik begrijp het idee van zo'n blend niet helemaal, ik vind het wel leuk om te proberen, maar ik ben het eens met Borresteijn: ik drink liever de afzonderlijke componenten.

Op tap bij In de Wildeman. Iets mistig lichtgouden kleur, witte kraag. Geur van banaan, esters, licht kruidig, hint van citrusvruchten, smaak is licht kruidig, citrus, hint van banaan, vrij droog, redelijk bitter. Komt over als een zachtere versie van hun Tripel, maar ik vind de afzonderlijke delen van dit bier beter dan de som. Lichte tot medium body, zacht mondgevoel.

Tap. Unfiltered golden pour, irregular white foam. Nose is lovely, it recalls the triple with some astringency. Mouth: a petit-triple with grapefruit and citrus.

On tap at The Blacksmith, Zaandam. It’s a hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma has a nice yeast character, soft and subdued but there with pepper notes, biscuit, soft citrus, light banana and a touch of cloves. Pretty nice!
