Duvel
Duvel is my next beer for review. Duvel is a Belgian ale brewed by Duvel Moortgat. This beer was selected for me by my wife because she liked the bottle.
Duvel has a light, slightly hazy, golden color. When poured it bubbles and sparkles, like champagne, and forms a great fluffy, snow-like head that stays until the last sip. Like most lightly colored beers, it has a fragrant hoppiness that is very mild and pleasant. The texture is champagne like, very bubbly and crisp. Duvel’s taste is dry, probably due to high 8.5% alcohol content, mildly bitter, with a slight sweetness. It has a dry finish that seems to linger a while, but it’s not an unpleasant aftertaste.
I had low expectations for Duvel, since usually a nice bottle means they are trying to draw your attention away from the contents, but this is far from the truth here. I’ve never had a beer like this. The unique texture, surprizingly easy drinking, and high alcohol content make this a unique beer worth your hard earned money.
