Got this from the Duvel guy in Utrecht
From a 44cl can into a snifter
Canned 01 December 2020
Double IPA
APPEARANCE: Pours a small, ½ finger, medium looking white head with good retention. Perfectly clear amber orange body with no carbonation evident. Head slowly fades to a full wisp and clings to the glass. A faint wisp remains but leaves lots of nice lacing on the glass as it empties. Solid looking.
SMELL: Caramel malts, melon, straw aromas, and some weird metallic aromas with burnt rubber. Weird. Medium strength.
TASTE: Caramel malts, melon, honeydew flavors, some straw flavors and a touch of bitterness at the swallow. Burnt rubber flavors as well. Odd and a little off-putting. Bold finish of caramel, melon, honeydew, some lightly burnt rubber and alcohol linger on the palate.
PALATE: Medium body and medium carbonation. Creamy on the palate, weighty, goes down fine and finishes a touch mouth-coating. Some heat lingers.
OVERALL: Looks like I spoke too soon. This is terrible. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Power Rangers was the worst possible show of all time. It's hard to be any worse. You'd really have to try. Well, hopefully it’s just the pacific hops and not the brewing process that’s giving this that burnt rubber quality, but whatever it is, this one is not very palatable. It’s worse on the nose than it is in the flavor, but either way, it’s off-putting. The Uiltje IPAs are usually fantastic but this one doesn’t quite have the profile that I’d like. Skip this one unless you like burnt rubber, which you very well might enjoy. It’s up to you I guess. Burnt rubber might be your thing. I hear some people like it. It’s rare, apparently, but according to the latest research, a burnt rubber character either is or is not desirable in an aroma/flavor profile. It’s still up in the air. Just make sure you’re not on the wrong side of this debate when the hammer falls. I dumped most of it into a flower pot by "mistake." Cheers!
