Duvel Clone/belgian Golden Ale

[Jazman]

i do like the 1388 but at the time the hbs dint have the 1388 still turned out good it aint a duval clone but that style or it be closer to a tripple so close between styles

oooh. Will need to try the 1762 sometime then! I'd still like to hammer out an AG version of the Duvel. My extract version tasted too malty, but due to the high alcohol and character of the yeast, it tasted nothing like an extract/partial.

Fricken stoked with how this recipe came out.

good bitterness backed up with the slight alcohol warmth, finished off with that aromatic spicyness from the yeast. The keg has been put away for a month of maturing as i've got plenty on tap ATM. Very happy. Only thing i might change is perhaps slighty higher bitterness and maybe more vienna. But yeah, tastes awesome, will do a side by side test in a month.

I usually have this one on tap - My Duvel Clone. Probably the simplest beer i make!!
Found the WLP570 to be the best, also this beer really needs to start @ 18, let it rise to 28 over one week.

Cheers

I have not read the whole thread but IMO these beers should be kept as simple as possible.
The one got 2nd in the Hunter comp this year, and it was a cracker 12 months in the bottle.
