Created by the Moortgat family, bottled Duvel is one of Belgium’s favorite ales. The secret of its success lies in using only best-quality ingredients, and in the well-balanced, very specific, complex brewing process. After brewing and first fermentation – which takes about 30 days – the beer is tasted by the brewmaster and his staff. At this stage this beer is called “single-fermented.” Typical Duvel flavors and aromas are already emerging, but the beer is lower in alcohol and carbonation, and the taste is slightly lighter and crisper. STYLE Single-fermented, cold-filtered, and on draft with an ABV of 6.8% TASTE Dry and crisp with mild yeasty citrus notes. More hops on the palate than in the nose. The beer is carefully balanced so that hops play off equally with malt and citrus. Intentionally not heavy or complex. APPEARANCE Golden-blonde, fine soft carbonation, large head with good retention. The beer is transparent with no residual yeast. Lively and enticing carbonation and typical Belgian head. AROMA Subtle citrus notes, and gentle herbal, green hoppiness. MOUTHFEEL Light on the tongue, smooth, bright and alive. Young, crisp beer taste. DRINKABILITY Brewed with drinkability and refreshment high in our minds. Simple, clean, easy-to-have more than one. SERVING TIPS Always serve in the tulip-shaped 25cl Duvel glass at 3°C.
