Duvel: The Devil in its Glass


Duvel is the quintessential Belgian strong golden ale. It was probably the first beer brewed in such a style and is the standard to which all other strong golden ales are measured. Not only that, but in the world of beer appreciation, Duvel is also known for creating arguably the best, most versatile glass for

recommended to be served at 6 but drunk a bit warmer, probably closer to the 13 ideal for stouts and other big beers. Hops come out more at a warmer temperature. At its ideal serving temp, Duvel is quite sweet, with hardly a hint of alcohol, despite its formidable 8.5% ABV. I guess this is why they named this beer after the devil - it's tempting and unassuming, and then you realize, only when it's too late, that you're in too deep. Trust me. Don't make deals with the Duvel and other demonios.

 Not as yeasty as most Belgian ales,
