This quintessential Belgian style is so absurdly delicious and refreshing and enchanting and riveting…extreme, I know, but I can literally not get enough. There aren’t too many things better than a Duvel on a hot Texas summer day. Those heavenly bubbles take the 8.0% ABV straight to my head, in the best way. And even though it is perfection as it is, I have thought a time or two that it could do with a dash of hops or a spritz of citrus. They must have been reading my mind because this one is brewed with lemon peel and dosed with extra hops. So good, I could swim in it.
