bottle@bar: differs from the regular Duvel in that it is filtered and therefore isn’t bottle fermented. In Belgium it is supposed to be sold only in bottle’s, apparently can be found draft abroad. It was served in a Duvel tulip with their coat of arms on the glass as opposed to the regular Duvel glass. Lots of carbonation, very strong on hops, very bitter, too bitter for me, the bitter hops in turn overpower everything else, tastes like a very young beer which it sort of is, grass, minor spices, some citrus, very crisp & dry, light body, bit too much carbonation & bitterness, overall came across as being a too young Duvel that was really in need of bottle fermentation, might be more enjoyable to people in the States given the dominating hops
