Yeah, yeah, wrong glass. But it works. The wonderful Duvel head sticks around all the way to the bottom of the glass and is perfectly distributed across the Koningshoeven glass. But when you think of all the "devil" beer names out there - Horny Devil, Red Devil, Devils Dark, Devils Advocate, Lil Devil - it all comes back to the original - Duvel, Flemish for devil. This Belgian blonde is the flagship of the Duvel Moortgat brewery - even with their multiple other breweries - including Ommegang here in the United States. A perfect blend of spices, hops, and malts, Duvel is the king of go-to beers. It pairs well with just about everything and never dissapoints.

Rating: 4.3 / 5.0
Had from bottle. Pours golden yellow with ample carbonation and the perfect white head that lasts all the way to the last drop. When you ask me what a beer should look like, Duvel is it. Perfection in the pour. Aromas of yeast and hops dominate the smell with undertones of hay, yeast, and grass. The flavor is perfection - a beautiful blend of spices, yeast, bread, malt, and hops. Finishes with a slightly bready aftertaste, but that’s exactly what you’d expect from this Belgian Blond. This is about as close to perfection as you can get from a blond.
