Got this from Duvel guy in Utrecht.
From a 440ml can into a pint glass
Hops: Citra, Centennial, Chinook, Simcoe and Mosaic
APPEARANCE: Pours a one finger, looser looking, foamy white head with lousy retention. Hazy, opaque gamboge orange in color with no carbonation evident. Head quickly recedes to a thin, faint wisp and ring. Slight ring remains until the end but looks mostly flat by the end.
SMELL: Wheat malts, caramel notes, grassy aromas, with some melon, citrus and some hints of tropical fruit on the nose. Some mango and pineapple as well. Nice.
TASTE: Melon flavors, pineapple and notes of mango fruitiness up front. Caramel sweetness, wheat malts and some grassy flavors at the swallow, moving into a milder but lingering finish of wheat malt, tropical fruits, pineapple, some caramel sweetness and grassy flavors as well. No real bitterness on this one.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Creamy smooth on the palate, goes down smooth and finishes somewhat drier on the palate, Some grassy hops linger.
OVERALL: Definitely New England in style, this one has lots of pineapple and wheat character without any real perceived bitterness to speak of. The head is a little lack-luster on this one but the rest of the experience is rather enjoyable. Worth checking out if you’re a fan of the style. Cheers!

Pours a hazy golden amber coloration with a medium, foamy/creamy head. Smells of light biscuity malt and tropical/citrus hops: orange, grapefruit, mango, with a hint of pine. Taste is a good balance of light biscuity malt, citrus/tropical hops and herbal bitterness, with notes of orange, grapefruit, mango and pine, as well as a certain herbal dankness. Finishes with a medium/strong bitterness and some tropical fruits and pine lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
Almost comes across as a NEIPA at first, with its hazy look and juicy citrus/tropical notes, but develops some quite herbal, dank and piney notes, with a strong bitterness in the finish. Quite an enjoyable mix going on here, actually.
