And One Duvel - Belgian Golden Ale Bottle (8.5%)


--- Quote ---Duvel Belgian Golden Ale Review
Belgian ales come in many varieties, but Duvel, or the "Devil" as the locals call it, ranks highly among the best. This hazy gold liquid poured smoothly with the most beautiful creamy white head, reminding me of a whipped meringue topping. The sweet candy sugar smell deceivingly masks the potent 8.5% alcohol waiting to warm the belly.

Belgian trappist breweries are known for high alcohol content elixers, especially the well-known trippels. Golden Ales are similar to Belgian trippels but usually are a little more crisp and usually drier.

Duvel presents a floral and fruit aroma with a hint of spice. The characteristic yeasty nose seems to be a bit subdued compared to some trippels I have tried, but the Czech Saaz hops are noticable.

The medium body and crisp bitter flavors are nicely balanced by the sweetness. This is a wonderful beer on the palate and the warming body lingers long after the initial sip. The flavors become more malty and complex as the glass warms up. I would recommend serving this lightly chilled and take your time through the finish. I spent a good half hour savoring the first glass...although the second went down much more quickly!

Duvel Belgian Golden Ale is extremely popular in Belgium and around the world. This beer should not be passed up if you get the chance to try it. Serve it up with a warm French artisinal bread and some soft cheeses and you will be sure to keep coming back for more.
