Re-rate: Bottle shared @ Top Hops. Old score: 2.2. Flowery scent. Pollen, wax, simple syrup. Taste has a flat Sierra Mist citrus sweetness to it. Caramel. Mellow alcohol. Sturdy texture. Grain finish. Inoffensive. Better. Huge disappointment with this. Shared this with an unlucky friend. Duvel baby tulip. Clear pale lager color, slight haze. Oniony/moldy/mushroom-y scent. Peppermint & plastic. Some odd cork interaction going on. Taste is sweet & citrusy upfront. Toasty oak, followed by ugly menthol, bitter stems & melting plastic. Semi-glutenous consistency. Thick. Waxy flavor & texture. Sweet & violent. Good in straight cold shots, but not much else.

Bottle from Liquor World in Cambridge. Baby Duvel Tulip. Clear, pale straw gold color. Smells of moldy wood, old leather & warm plastic. Bleh. Taste is rich, but tolerable while cold.Caramelized. Coating, mild rindy flavor that I honestly did not expect. Leafy green. Good texture. Bittersweet finish.

Clear pink-orange body, no head. Nose of strawberries and honey, sweet with warming alcohol notes. Sweet, fruity body nicely cleaned up by warming alcohol notes in the finish, substantial but not syrupy or cloying.

Pours clear very pale yellow color with no head. Aromas of agave and lime. Tastes like a margarita. Light to medium body with no carbonation and a syrupy mouthfeel. Quite enjoyable if you like margaritas.

Pours clear yellow. Nose of McIntosh apple, honey, oak and vanilla. Taste is mostly oak - overpowering all other flavors. Some honey, apple and hint of vanilla. I much prefer the other cyser. Medium body.
