750 cl bottle purloined at Belmont Station PDX eight bucks score, 2010 vintage, poured into Duvel tulip.

Archetypical Duvel head, big and billowing, slow dissipation, exquisite lacing over clear light gold body with multiple streams of quick rising bubbles, IMO one of the world' best looking beers. Aroma is much more hoppy than base beer, spicy and a bit grassy, light malt notes for balance. Taste is a revelation two years after bottling, still maintains an aggressive hop attack, spicy, some sweetish malts balance. Mouthfeel is just on light side of medium, excellent effervescence, tingly mouthfeel, relatively dry finish. In retrospect I wish I'd have grabbed more bottles of this at this unheard-of price, this appears to be a hoppy beer that can stand up to several years of aging. Not sure I'd lay down 20 bucks for this, but due to Carl and Chris this had to be one of the best beer values of 2012.

Pours like a traditional Duvel. Fairly clear straw yellow with a fluffy two finger white head.

Smells of citric pineapple and grassy hop notes right away. A touch of malty sweetness.

Taste is that traditional Duvel Golden Belgian Pale malty peppery herbal sweetness with a great citric fruity hop note. The peppery hop notes add a ton of flavor to the original recipe.

Mouthfeel is crisp, slightly viscous and highly carbonated. Still very drinkable.

Overall, just a fantastic change of pace and one I will seek out again.

A: very pale blonde colour, real good white typical duvel head that sticks really well to the glass.

S: a lot of citrus, and hops, a bit floral, even a hint of peaches and pineapple

T: the floral accents are there, the hops are certainly there, especially at the end, this is all well balanced with the fruitiness that is there, lemon, peach, pear,...

M: Medium body, very dry, alcohol is quite noticeable, which is a good thing

O: this is once again a beer that proves that I appreciate Belgian brewers more then most American craft-brewers, I like hoppiness but a beer needs balance this is one of those beers that proves that. It's a nice change for a regular Duvel, but it isn't better, however that doesn't matter, as it is a really good beer that stands on it's own, although its roots are clear.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Smell: barley pears, cream, piney hops, and sugar

Taste: bitter white grapefruit, pears, pine sap, lemon flavored jelly beans, and mild hints of creaminess; a very full-flavored beer

This Belgian tripel ipa goes impeccably well with top sirloin and/or a goat cheese, turkey, and fig jam sandwich

A- It pours a hazy golden straw with a thick white head. Head retention is excellent, and there are well formed rings of lace down the sides of the glass.

S- Lots of citrus, along with piney and grassy hops. It's very fruity, with lots of spicy and earthy yeast esters. It smells almost too good to drink, almost.

T- Faint hints of sweet malt dance on the palate with strong notes of citrus. There is a distinct belgian spiciness. The finish is dry, with strong notes of grapefruit. It's very light and refreshing, but it's very complex.

M- It's medium/light bodied, with lots of carbonation. The alcohol is hidden surprisingly well, but still offers up some warmth.

O- Glad I bought this one. It's simply incredible.
