| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2008 (Bottled) Opaque yellow with a large, foamy and lacy head, forming Duvel-like clouds. Tripel-like, pale-malty, wheaty aroma with some banana-honeyish sweetness and aromatic-flowery, saazy hops. Malty, slightly banana-sweetish, yeasty flavor with a dry, bitter finish - much like Duvel. Alcohol is present, but not dominating. Medium to full-bodied palate, high- and foamy-carbonated, somewhat acidic mouthfeel. With yeast the flavor is less acidic, but surprisingly dry, lemony and still bitter-hoppy. Not a bad effort in the Duvel - La Chouffe category, but a bit too acidic and carbonated for my liking. maeib (4776), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 29, 2008 Bottled - Criterion Leicester. A bright gold coloured beer with a huge, rocky pillowy head and lots of lacing. The aroma is spicy, yeasty and hoppy. Big lemony, hoppy, peppery taste. A very good beer, but I can’t help but think this is a real Duvel clone. Tmoney99 (4804), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured a hazy orange color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy tart citrus and yeast aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
This is a very drinkable beer and my expectations where met. beerbuzzmontreal (2942), Montreal, Quebec, Canada

Nice aroma of fruity hops with yeast. Good flavor of fruity hops and yeast, not particulary complex, but very flavorfull. The body is full with a creamy texture and medium to lively carbonation. Very good. ruggedman (626), Portland, Maine, USA

Pours a a nice golden color with a frothy white head. Aroma is slightly muted mostly hops and grassy scents. Flavor is a nice hoppy bite at first with a nice bunch of citrus flavors. The belgian yeast is really nice in with the hop profile. The ending is very dry and bitter and to me that’s perfect for this brew. Svesse (2686), Hässelby, Sweden

Malty, spicy nose with notes of yeast, grass, hay and fresh hops. Malty, spicy taste with grain, grass, yeast and generous doses of fresh, aromatic hops in a dry finish. Deceptively drinkable. Very nice beer. Ibrew2or3 (2848), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2008 Courtesy of fishingnet. Pours light gold with a bit of haze and a three inch off white head. The light aroma has fresh lemon citrus, some grapefruit and faint light colored malts. The taste has an up front combination of grapefruit hops, lemon tartness and candi sugar. It really gets more tart by midway with grapefruit and some acidity. Some floral hops show up from time to time too.
