I think I’ll sell all my possessions and move to Belgium Until I discovered Belgium ale I was a devotee of Pilsners. Ales were no match for lagers in my world. But now it’s my plan to find a hovel in Belgium with a refrigerator. I’ll have just enough money to eat and buy a few beers each day. I might consider that having gone to heaven.
Duvel is a sparkling, bright refreshing ale. It has a nice big white head. It has a sweet and tart taste. Just a little tingle in the back of the mouth.
The high ratings for this beer are well substantiated in my opinion.

Oct 10, 2008 330 ml. bottle. Pours a nice thick, creamy long duration head, with loads of lacing, over a slightly cloudy pale yellow body....mild slightly spicy belgian yeast nose, with some mild citrus tones....tastes of mild citrus, with lots of carbonation up front, finishing with a sharp and lasting hop bitterness. Very nice mouth feel. Since Moortgat created the style of a Golden Belgian Strong Ale, it is the standard.

Oct 3, 2008 Very pleasantly surprised! Enigmatic beer actually. Hoppy and wheaty with a touch of citrus like Hoegaarden. Taste is smooth and silky with that classic Belgian wheat beer taste. I feel like it’s more of a Saison like Ommegang Hennepin than a Belgian Strong Ale but hey, I like it so I’m not gonna complain. Great beer!

Oct 3, 2008 Full malty aroma with notes of peach. Pours with a rich head and a clear golden color. Sweet & fruity in flavor, backed up by a pleasant taste of hops. I had high expectations for this beer and while it is a very solid ale, I wasn’t blown away by it.
