Commercial Description:
Diablo is a Belgian style golden ale. It is light colored but strong. It was fermented with a unique Belgian ale strain. This yeast gives it a fruity, phenolic, and somewhat spicy aroma and flavor. The aroma is similar to our Hefeweizen's, but just not as sweet. This beer is deceiving because of its appearance and drinkability. At 8.6% alcohol by volume, this beer can sneak up on you because it is so refreshing.

750ml bottle, vintage 2005, purchased from Oggi’s Vista. Pours cloudy orange with a very fizzy white head. Smells very yeasty and bready and sweet. Tastes bready and yeasty and fruity sweet. Overripe banana flavors. Medium/full body, good carbonation. This beer is past it’s peak imo but still good.

[2005] Poured a hazy dark golden color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of light oxidation, toasty malt, tropical fruit, and light toffee. Taste was citrus fruits, cardboardy oxidation, toasted malts, light caramel, spices, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. Thanks to Steve for sharing this!

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a hazy golden with a bunch small floaties and a smaller bubbly white head. Aroma of fruits, bread, some Belgian yeast esters and cardboard. Flavor of lemon, bread, Tripel like spicy esters and a touch of banana and lemon. Getting a little past it’s prime and oxidized.

750 ml bottle, 2005 vintage from Oggis Vista location. Pours hazy golden amber with a large off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly to a thin ring of bubbles, leaving no discernable lace. Aroma is fruity, bready and yeasty, with an off-putting metallic note, which gives way to light citrus, peach and sweetbread. Flavor is initially toasty and fruity malts, quickly giving way to tart and bitter spices, herbs and florals with a prominent alcohol character as well. Medium body and gently tingly carbonation. Not real impressive overall, interesting and fun to try, but maybe it’s not aged so well.
