Drank from my Duvel Tulip.

A - Pours a nice cloudy Orange/Amber colour with an off White, tight head that slowly reduces to a lacing film.

S - Quite strong spicy aromas with a decent banana characteristic.

T - Up front some fruity notes followed by some strong spicy hops, the finish is (dare I say it) very Belgian, being tart and fruity and slightly vineous. Reminds me of Rodenbach.

M - Medium body and medium carbonation that leaves your tongue well coated. Slightly sticky.

O - A pleasant surprise and definitely benefits from ageing. Has a real Belgian quality that is authentic. The more I drank this, the more I didn't want it to finish.
