Duvel
Duvel is a famed Belgian pale ale that is produced by Duvel Moortgat Brewery. It was initially named Victory Ale—but its name was later changed into Duvel, presumably after it was referenced as nen echten duvel (a real devil) due to its high alcohol content (8.5%).
This pale ale became the brewery’s flagship beer, though several other styles are also available on the market. Classic Duvel is made from Scottish yeast, and it is hopped with Saaz and Styrian Golding hops. The beer has delicate effervescence, and it undergoes the second fermentation in the bottle.
It is smooth and silky, with prominent hop flavors, citrusy, spicy, and floral aromas, subtle bitterness, and a dry finish. Duvel is an excellent match to aged cheese, seafood, and grilled or roasted meat.
