Beer Review 21 - Duvel


Duvel is a Belgian Strong Pale Ale from Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat. It utilizes pilsner malt and white sugar, as well as saaz hops. As such, it has characteristics of both an ale and a pilsner. It is a golden ale, and it looks unlike any beer I've had thus far. A cloudy gold color, with a huge, white, loose-bubbled, soapy head. Seemingly endless carbonation streaming from the bottom center. There is a light, fruity aroma (citrus or pear or apple?). The taste is marvellous. Crisp, refreshing, fruity. Absolutely no bitterness or skunkiness. It tastes near to cider. Very easy-drinking; wonderful.
