Duvel Golden Ale

Duvel Golden Ale

Duvel, meaning “devil” in the local Flemish dialect, is a Belgian Strong Golden Ale that lives up to its name. Don’t be fooled by its innocent, pale golden appearance—this is a beer of immense character and complexity. Duvel is a true masterpiece of brewing, crafted with 100% natural ingredients and a unique brewing process that takes a full 90 days.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: A sparkling, pale golden beer with a dense, creamy, and voluminous white head.
• Aroma: A lively and fragrant bouquet of citrus, with hints of grapefruit, pear, and subtle spice. The distinctive aroma comes from a unique yeast strain and a blend of Saaz-Saaz and Styrian Golding hops.
• Palate: The flavor is beautifully balanced and complex. It starts with a delicate fruitiness and a gentle sweetness before a well-hopped, subtle bitterness takes over. The high carbonation creates a lively, champagne-like effervescence and a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel.
• Finish: A dry, clean, and surprisingly smooth finish that skillfully conceals its powerful 8.5% ABV.

Duvel is not just a beer; it’s an experience. The brewing process includes re-fermentation in the bottle, a technique that enhances its unique character and fine carbonation. This iconic beer is a benchmark for the Belgian Strong Golden Ale style, celebrated for its perfect balance of strength, elegance, and drinkability.
