So .. this just now did a side by side Duvel Tripel Hop comparison..
[ATTACH=CONFIG]3675[/ATTACH]
My clone's been about 4 wks in the bottle and measures 11.07% abv (incl priming). The original has been in the fridge for about a week now .. and my clone for about 2days. They both showed similar enthusiams getting out the bottle.
Mine is a lot darker.. dunno how the original is so pale though, unless they used more pale adjunts like rice. My grainbill was just plain pilsner alt and sugar .. so theoretically you cant get paler than that..
The original has more of hops aroma than mine - though I dry hopped at 3.33 g/litre .. maybe old hops - or thay have different tricks.
Biggest taste difference is mine has more of a champagne taste. Possibly the yeast... or could that be the diffs between using proper Belgian candi sugar whereas I used plain sucrose.. Possibly next time I'll try the same yeast with a freshy cooked up invent sugar (need to have another bash at this).
Could also be low level oxidation or slight caramelzation when boiling.
Ill try and take a better picture today. My NEIPA came out straight orange juice, color came out perfect, just needed to finish fermenting from my pale color. There is still a slight hop burn but the mix of sweet and bitter is perfect for my tastes.
Would recommend, this is only the second beer I ever said this about.

Nice head. What is your carbonation procedure? Shake and bake?
Benchmarking against a known performance ie US-05 that we all know very well. Too early for me to give well informed feedback

Yes but I'm wondering why specifically choose US-05. I'm aware it's a cleaner ale yeast, but with Lutra aiming to "replace" lager yeasts in the way it does, wouldn't a lager yeast have been a better comparison?
Simply asking because I love your breakdowns, and I'm interested
