Opinions on Duvel?

[Traktertire]

One of my absolute favorite beers is Duvel . What are everyones opinions

 

[jturb]

Duval is a fantastic beer!!!

I maintain that it is the best, most accessible beer in the world. They export to 40 countries. When I was in Amsterdam, after trudging through the beer wastelands of Spain and Italy, I thought it was a another local bud clone at first, because every bar in Amsterdam has Duvel signs, umbrellas, etc. But it is actually a world-class beer. And somehow it's still family-owned. Simply amazing.

I love it, but at $15 a 4 pack I don't buy it often.

A great way to break into the belgians. It's got a lot of the typical belgian flavor from the yeast, but is rather dry. One of my personal favs.

The only problem with Duvel is the way it sneaks up on you, (Belgian for Devil) if that's really a problem. Great beer!

AHS's Devil's Brew, a Duvel-alike, is one of my go to brews.

Weagle mind sharing the recipe

Perhaps the best part about Duvel is how cheap it is to create a close clone. 10% of the retail cost in fact

devil devil devil. very drinkable. high abv. ouch.

for such a light beer, great lacing.

Weagle mind sharing the recipe

I've only done their extract and mini-mash versions, but can share what's in them after I get home. The 2 lbs of honey is the thing that impresses most beer "civilians"

I like it but I don't love it. Definitely lives up to its name though!

Love Duvel and it hates me. Mostly because 1, 2, 3, is never enough. It's a great beer to enjoy with discerning friends and beautiful strangers.

To the OP, I think that if you love a beer, then it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks, you love it and that's all that matters.

That being said, I think the majority is in your favor here. I loves me some Duvel, too. And now I think it's time I put a clone on my "to brew" list.

 

[Skarekrough]

It's a fine beer that, as someone said, in an excellent entry level beer for the novice.

 

[JonM]

Fan-bloody-tastic. One of mine and SWMBO's favorites. A bit pricey, but totally worth it. One of those 750 ml bottles is perfect for us to split and, when they do the 4-pack with the Duvel tulip included, I can't resist.

I had high expectations, havent had it in some time but i would say i liked bornem, and Bruggel and maybe a few of the others more than this one-have to try it again soon.

 

[MultumInParvo]

This one of the first truly good beers I had. Still one of my favorites. Sure it costs a good deal to buy, but certainly worth it every now and then.

This thread needed a picture

 

[Fencemaker]

What a great picture! Isn't beer wonderful? I think I'll have some.

 

[passedpawn]

Go beer! Great pic Houblon!

Duvel Green on tap at The Brick Store Pub = no can defend.

 

[arturo7]

Yummy

 

[Kyzarkit]

Duvel is a good beer, but there are others I prefer, Gulden Draak being one of my favorites. And for the same price

 

[Misfit]

Belgian beers are awful

Troll.

 

[connord]

Duvel = Meh

 

[LVBen]

I'm drinking a Duvel right now... unfortunately, it is skunked. That's what I get from buying beer from Lee's Discount Liquor.

Oh well... it is still pretty good even with the skunk a$$.

 

[Misfit]

Troll.

Nope not a troll. The thread simply asked your opinion on duvel. Which I find is quite awful along with all Belgian beers.
