Sierra Nevada / Duvel Moortgat Beer Camp Hoppy Belgian-Style Golden Ale
We’re combining elements of Duvel’s classic golden ale with Sierra Nevada’s hop-forward fanaticism to create a new beer that highlights both. The complex and fruity nature of Duvel’s signature yeast is the first thing that greets you, followed shortly by a blast of bright, citrusy hops. The beer also has a touch of lemon peel for a pop that greets the palate right at the finish of this deceptively drinkable and complex beer.

It pours golden with an off white head with lacing. It is clear. It has strong barnyard aromas with some floral and spice. There is also low bread and slight wine. There are strong barnyard and earthy flavors with spice and slight floral elements. It has low bread and a very low winy element. It has a slight tart aftertaste that is quite dry. Overall, it features earthen elements with a very dry finish.
Bottle from 2017 Beer Camp 12pk. Light golden body, clear. lively carbonation. Small but dense head. Nice yeasty aroma, malts and grains. Taste also favors the yeast, floral, herbal, and the grains provide a base. Taste fades, and finishes fast. Lingering yeasty notes.
Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, pine and resin. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter.
Bottle in CO. Pours clear gold with a foamy white head. Pretty nice Belgian ale, some yeast, wheat bread, hay, crispy cereal. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with a bit of rind, crispy grains, wheat flakes. Nice Belgian yeast expression. Great fun.
Sample during the "Collaboration Beers On Deck 2!" event on 08/13/2017. Clear straw color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of yeast, malt and fruit. Medium body with flavors of Belgian yeast, floral hops and malt. The finish is yeasty and fruity hops. Above average overall.
Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head with lots of tiny pieces of sediment floating throughout. The aroma is farm house like with some lemon notes and sweetness. The flavor has some bitterness up front with lemon and earthy notes.
Bottle from Wegmans- Pours clear golden, white head. This one was lovely, big and bold, but not overly bitter.
Bottle from Wegman's Malvern. Pours golden with a white head. Leaves some lacing in the glass. Nice Belgian yeast thing along with some floral hop notes. Finished clean. Nice!
Bottle from the box. Bright, golden color, clear, low head. Nose is lemon, bread, honey, spicy yeast. Citrus flavor with bready, rackery malts, peppery yeastiness, some stone fruit. Decently hopped, nice fruit, though a bit too much like an American Belgian. Not completely convincing.
Bottle shared by Jack, thanks! Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges. Aroma has a combination of flora and grass with some grains and bread backing. Flavor has sweet grains and flora with some light fruits with a bit of hay backing.
Bottle from the Beer Camp mixed pack. Really expressive fruity yeast character. Light toffee and honeyed grain. Nice and easy drinking. Full body. Light herbal hop. Oily body, bright carb.
Clear straw color with a fluffy, somewhat dissipating, white head. Light caramel, vanilla, marzipan, wintergreen and slight resin scents. Very much a strong golden ale aroma. Sweet start with the vanilla and marzipan coming in strong. Light fruit, with some pear and mild mango. Now that I think of it, this is right in Duvel�s bailiwick.
From bottle to tulip as part of the sampler. Pours clear golden with moderate white head. Fruity esters and the hops were restrained.
Can sample at a tasting at troubles’ place. Thanks troubles. Clear light gold. Aroma of lemon, a little alcohol, some mineral hoppiness, some dough. Lemon, bitter, slightly alcoholic, a little bit of yeast in the mouth. Medium body, fine fizz, long citrusy and slightly bitter finish.
Poured from a 12 oz bottle.
Aroma is fruity with tons of Belgian yeast esters of pear, red apple, stone fruit and light banana. Some lighter phenolic clove and coriander notes. Medium light hop notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon with some light pine resin notes.
Pours a rather clear, golden yellow with a medium sized, moderately thick, pillowy, white head that exhibits decent retention as it slowly recedes. Light lacing and medium small legs.
Flavor has a moderately strong sweetness to it with some light grain and cracker malt notes. Medium light bitterness with some light alcohol notes. Moderate yeats esters of pear, stone fruit and red apple. Lighter phenolic clove and coriander notes. Medium light citrus hop notes with lemon, orange and grapefruit. Faint resin and pine notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation and a crisp finish. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a nice beer. Good fruity yeast esters with nice light phenolic notes and grain to balance. Hop profile is present, but not overwhelming.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear bright yellow with a small white head. Light Belgian yeast aroma with even lighter lemon peel. Lightly sweet flavor with the sweetness coming from the Belgian yeast. There’s a light lemony flavor with a modest hop profile. Light and dry in the mouth. Pretty good.
Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a clear yellow straw color with a small white head. The aroma is malt, grain and fruit. The taste is very similar to the nose but with a noticeable amount of coriander. Least favorite of the 12 pack series.

It pours clear golden with a white head. The aroma has had herbal hops, doughy malt, and Belgian yeast. It has a medium full body with quite a bit of carbonation. The taste is pretty dry with grass, sulfur, crackers, wood and some fall leaves. Tasty.
