Description
In a nutshell:
One of Belgium's classic strong blond ales, it's crisp and golden with subtle spice, a touch of citrus, and a smooth, slightly bitter finish.
The lowdown:
This is the original and one of the classics of Belgian Strong Blond Ales. 'Duvel' means 'Devil' in Flemish, and it's not hard to see why - smooth, golden, and deceptively strong. Fruity notes of pear and apple mingle with a little spice, finishing crisp and dry. It's all light and refreshing until it sneaks up on you with its strength. Definitely a devil in disguise, but a very charming one at that.
The Brewery:
With a rich history dating back to 1871, Belgium's Duvel-Moortgat, who are based south of Antwerp, was only saved from closure in 1970s when it agreed to distribute a rival Danish beer. The brewery has gone from strength to strength since and was an early investor in the craft beer scene in America. Apart from their well regarded label Duvel, Moortgat owe much of their recent success to acquisitions within Europe and America with the purchase of Brasserie D'Achouffe, De Koninck and Boulevard Brewing Company, Kansas to name only a few. Other iconic beers from this brewery include Maredsous abbey ales and Vedett.
