The filtered and slightly weaker cousin to the more famous Duvel Rood. Pale yellow in colour and crystal clear. Very fruity, complex, lively and dangerously drinkable.

Interesting malt aroma with hints at peaches and apples, and a little spiciness (perhaps also a hint at Saaz hops? not sure). More of the same in the flavor, with a spiciness due to the yeast characteristics. Fairly drinkable for a beer of this strength. Moderate complexity. Moderately cloudy (chill haze?) dark golden color. No head.

Golden colour with a big, thick rich head that makes strange formations if you let it sit. Aroma seems simple at first but has pear/apple esters, light pale malt, sweaty yeast, and a hint of alcohol. The malts are sweetish, esters light, alcohol strong but mainly towards the finish. The yeast note is everpresent, lying underscoring everything.
A tasty beer...BUT...this is the small bottle, which is the only kind I can find in Canada. I find with Duvel more than any other brew bottle size matters. A 750 is a few points higher, especially in flavour and overall. A magnum is better still. I’m going to have to invest in a jereboam at some point, because the 330mls are tasty, but it’s just not a superior beer from that bottle.

A classic beer, spawning several imitators. A strong heavily hopped, triple fermented ale. Has a big rocky and firm head that last for the whole glass and clings to the sides. A pale, slightly cloud golden color disguises this rich and highly alcoholic beer (6.8 wt, 8.5 vol). Flavor is yeasty and hoppy, but malts are detectable. Remarkable easy to finish for a high alcohol beer. Can either be served at cellar temp like an ale or cold like a lager.
