750 mL corked & caged bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA.

Opens with an alarming, large pop with lots of gun smoke. The pour into the Duvel tulip yields a darker than expected, orange colored body with a pretty good head and some really nice lace.

This is a confusing beer since it also has the word “Tripel” on the label (along with Blonde). It’s really quite a sweet beer than lacks any kind of white pepper notes or spice. The beer is really quite bland in many respects and lacks even an alcohol edge in the taste. Plenty of honey.

It’s a little slick in the mouth. A bit muddy and lacks much definition at all.

Ultimately a slightly disappointing beer for me which fails to hit many of the expected notes.
