0.33 l bottle from ’De Hopduvel’, best before March 2018. Hazy, golden amber with a medium large, frothy, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity, a bit milky aroma of peach, rye, strawberry jam, ginger and some honey. Quite sweet, rather fruity and slightly herbal taste of peach, blood orange, rye, spruce and some ginger, followed by a long, very bitter, dry and slightly peppery-alcoholic finish. Medium to full body, slightly creamy and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Fairly untypical DIPA, interesting malt/grain bill and even hoppier than your average example, yet rather tame aroma. Taste is very pleasant though, and the strong finish is a good counterpart to the sweet malts. Very nice!
