Duvel Groen

Brewed by Brouwerij Moortgat
Style: Belgian Ale
Breendonk-Puurs, Belgium

Bottle from Jason and tasted in my Duvel snifter: Pours a clean golden hue with an initial large head which faded and left spotty lace (not nearly as good it’s big brother). The aroma has notes of spicy hops, biscuity grains, light pear esters, and some alcohol vapours. The taste starts with a nice twang of acidic fruit and moderate hop bittering over a layer of mild soft grains. There is a hint of the classic Duvel yeast character throughout. As other stated it is "Duvel Light" with many of the same characteristics but in a smaller package which also removes some of the depth of palate as well. The mouth feel is sprite and refreshing with a dry finish. I think this nice beer that is more approachable than the normal Duvel. It just comes off missing that extra punch of one of my top 10 beers of all-time.

Golden with a fairly good white head. I thought this was a real good drink all day beer. Not complex, does exactly as I expected and tastes nice. I can get this often and I think I will do. Cheap too. Like Duvel light. Light beer is the devils spunk but when you’re talking an 8.5 negotiated down to a 7.5, it’s not bad at all. A lot of my rates say not my kind of drink, this is the kind of beer I would buy regularly in the absence of something ’special’.

Bottle: Poured a clear golden color ale with a large foamy head with huge bubbles and some good retention. Aroma of spicy yeast with some semi-sweet Belgian malt. Taste is a nice mix between some distinctive Moortgat spicy yeast and some distinctive Belgian malt. Body is fuller then average with some great carbonation. Lighter then the original Duvel but an interesting beer nonetheless.

Thanks to WeeHeavySD for sharing! Very light, clear yellow with a white head that quickly fades. Sweet yeast and hops aroma. Tart, snappy hops flavor. Lingering mild bitterness and nice carbonation. Very drinkable.

Nice yeasty, fresh taste. pretty dry. Cant define herbs. One of my favourites on a late summer evening.

Gift from Bartzilla for the Holidays. Shared with Cyn, dalekliz and bikesandbeer. Pours gold with a an extremely bubbly with lots of bubbles coming up the center. Bright white head also. Nose is sweet light and fresh. Taste is yeasty with a hint of bitterness and overall a bit herbal in a way. Gotta say this is interesting maybe I’ve just been interested in it for a while, but its better than a 64 percentile in my opinion.

gold blond coloured body with lot of carbonation and a large white head a little yeasty hoppy aroma a medium palat and a hoppy bitter finich

Clear yellow colour, little carbonation, large diminishing white head. Hoppy aroma, some yeast also. A bitter taste and a fast diminishing yeasty taste. It’s ok, but give me the regular Duvel.
