When I saw this, I thought, "Duvel wannabe" - and yeah, it seems like I’m right. Same bottle, same color scheme. Points off for the goofy take off of "sober" and the weird label. So, I was inspired to also pick up som Duvel to compare this to. About $10 for a 4-pack of Duvel, versus $4.50 per bottle for this - a really bad deal. Basically, this tastes like a watered down Duvel - did a side by side tasting of these - similar malt flavors and aromas, but this is weaker. I’ve had so many good/great Belgian brews, this is like a Milwaukee’s Best version of them

Jul 30, 2008 Pour is a hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is very grainy for a Belgain with lots of sweetness and some yeast. Flavor is wierd with some dark fruit then a intense sweetness followed by a soapyness. I did not care much for this one.

Jul 19, 2008 Bottle, 7.5%. Sweet, spicy aroma. Almost clear golden colour, big stable white head. The flavour is sweet and perfumy. Hint of metal in the aftertaste.
