Hello, and welcome one and all to an alcohol opinion. I'm going to be giving my thoughts on Duvel beer. Well, the beer is brewed in a place called Breendonkdorp in Belgium, but I do apologise for stating the obvious LOL. Its a wheat-like beer, and is bottle conditioned, which means that when you buy a bottle of it, there will be little bits in the drink. These bits are generally bits of yeast which continues to ferment the beer whilst in the bottle. Theoretically then, you could lay this bottle down for a while, and drink a more refined beer months down the line. But why wait? Its tastes blinking lovely already.

I tried Duvel for the first time last night, after discovering the delights of Belgium's wheat beers and traditional ales over the past few months.

Duvel is suprisingly strong, and you have to be careful to remember that you are drinking a very potent beer. No ...  Read the complete review

duvel is a smooth and cheeky brew with a kick like a mule. It is fruity and goes down very easily and does not leave you feeling bloated or as hungover as some british brews tend to do. I would advise people to invest in a duvel beer glass if a taste for duvel is acquired as it tends to add to the drinking experience and I believe makes the beer taste even better. So in a nutshell 'you would do well to invest in a duvel.' ...  Read the complete review
