Duvel from Belgium

Duvelとはフランダース語で悪魔を意味し、ぞっとする名前のビールですが、既にご紹介したMort Subite（突然死）のように、奇抜な名前のビールがベルギービールの特徴の一つです。
記録には白ビールとありますが、ストロングゴールデンエールの部類です。私がトライしたのはごく初期の頃で、まだビールの世界をよく知らない時のコメントです。

Duvel means "Devil" in Flemish. The name is said to have been inspired by a brewery workers who tasted it when it was first brewed and declared. "This is a Devil of a good beer". The name is less menacing than the Gueuze Mort Subite which means "Sudden Death".
Although I noted it is a kind of white beer, it seems to belong to Strong Golden Ale.

Although it is white beer, the taste is not so bad as it is strong alcohol. Best served at 6-10 C.
