The Duvel Moortgat family brewery is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, with a new variant of Duvel, a new mild, full-bodied blond Duvel with the alcohol percentage of 6.66%.

This Duvel is mild, expressive and deliciously drinkable. No fewer than 6 different hop varieties are used for Duvel 6.66%: just like the classic Duvel, it’s based on the noble and exclusive hop varieties Saaz and Styrian Golding. The flavour is then balanced by adding four expertly selected hop varieties to the mix, which also involves the dry-hopping method.

Bright yellow with a huge white head. The nose is spicy with hints of white pepper and clove. The flavor is similar. The spice is foremost with some fruity esters underneath. The mouthfeel is pretty light but despite the huge head when poured, very well carbonated. I like the original Duvel more, but this was very enjoyable.

Poured from a 11.2 ounce bottle into a Shaker pint glass, "best by" date "11-2023".

APPEARANCE: pours a hazy golden color with larger bits of sediment suspended, a beautiful one-finger white head with excellent retention that slowly dissipated until a solid white cap remained until the end, highly carbonated, there was heavy lacing on the glass.

SMELL: sweet banana bread and some farmhouse funk.

TASTE: the taste follows the nose, initially sweet banana bread and then some farmhouse funk, I also perceive some clove spice, the hop bite on the finish balances out this beer nicely, there was orange citrus as well.

PALATE: lighter body and highly carbonated, it's smooth but the crackle of carbonation on the entry really works for me.

OVERALL: this is an excellent BBA, this is the best mouthfeel I have experienced in a beer, it looks nice and the taste was also very good, I would buy this again no problem and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the style.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy golden color with a nice white head that slowly reduces and does leave some lacing. The nose gets grassy hops and Belgian yeast. The taste follows and the brew has a nice feel overall - medium bodied and smooth.

Cloudy gold, big white head, good retention, rings of lace
Banana, hay, silage, slight spice aroma. The silage is throwing me off
Soft pilsner malt, green banana, clove, silage.
Light bodied and well carbonated
Maybe it's an off bottle, but the silage note is really disagreeable to me.

Bottle into goblet glass
L-clear yellow and generous 2F head that persists with substantial evidence of carbonation
S-grasses predominate the nose of the hops. Happily, no fruitiness
T-hop forward with a pleasant bitterness. Enough aromatics to faintly suggest a Belgian but not overwhelm the hops
F-light bodied. Not as crisp as it looks or as the standouts in the category are
O-a strong and enjoyable entrant but ultimately lacks any outstanding element

Look is light blonde. Smell is sweet Belgian ale yeast. Taste is smooth, rich and sweet. Feel is medium bodied. Overall, a great medium bodied Belgian blonde. Good example when you are looking for something lighter.

Pours a cloudy yellow. Lots of small floating particles. Effervescent bubbles continue to feed the collapsing white head that leaves marginal spotty lacing. Aroma is mild, yeast, biscuit, citrus and earthy hops. Flavor follows the nose; in addition, I'm picking up a touch of clove and banana. Feel is light and well carbonated. Overall, a fine Belgian ale.

11.2 oz bottle, Duvel tulip, best before December 2023. Oops.

Cloudy gold with head up to the brim.

Yeast, dry, honey, melon, herbal.

More herbal than fruity. Light, but with a moderate and lingering bitterness melding with the yeasty finish.

Light with a matte finish. Carbonation is low.

It is pretty much like a light Duvel.

Poured into a chalice: color is straw gold, slight chill haze, big off white/very light tan head presents two fingers thick, head remains solid with lacing on the glass sides.

Smell is malt, citric, lemon zest, esters, yeast, aged hops.

Taste is barley malt, bread, biscuit, citrus, lemon zest, esters, yeast, spice, souring fruit, herbal hops.

Mouthfeel is moderate carbonation, moderate sweetness, light bitterness, drying.

Overall a great Belgian blonde with a citric aroma/flavor and light dry spice/yeast note.

666 pours a golden hazy yellow color with a small head. Best By Date?:02/2024 The aroma is nice, fruity, sweet, acidic, citrus and fizzy. Pineapple, peach, sweet cherry, fizzy sourness is quite the complex Belgian Blond Ale. The mouthfeel is complex as well with the fizzy sour. Overall very impressive.

Cloudy pissy looking pale yellow pour, huge frothy head, surprisingly spotty lacing. It smelled like a Belgian beer, tasted like one to. It's nothing I'd buy.
