Handwritten notes: Ah, one review a day, that is ultimately healthier I think... and what an appropriately named beer, after 102 different beers in a month... a cloudy/silty beer with a foamy head that soaks up the silt and makes the feel in the mouth a bit gritty... a sour sort of heffe-like taste, well played flavours... light and citrussy... were it not for the punch of alcohol at the end, it would be hard to tell the strength... brilliant wheat, malt, hop flavours played to near perfection... I was expecting Duvel to taste like this... damn you, Belgium and your awesome beers, save some for the rest of us! So complex it's almost stupid. And the label is a trip! Alligators walking downhill, pink elephants, and what looks like dragons balancing on the sun. Groovy. (sorry for the blurry picture, I'll try and do better next time).
