Duvel’s awesome triple hop
Look, I’m sorry. About all the beer-related posts on a wine blog. It’s just that I’m driven by interest, and I want to report here whatever I think is worthy of a plug - and tonight’s tipple, the Duvel Triple Hop Special Edition beer, is certainly worthy of that.
This is a Belgian beer brewed with three hops: Saaz Saaz, Styrian Golding and Amarillo. It’s fantastically complex with
myriad flavours: amazing citrus and spice aromatics; rich, honeyed, spicy, sweetly fruity palate; tangy, herbal, hoppy, nicely bitter finish that goes on for ages.
At 9.5% alcohol you don’t want to swill pints of that - rather, treat it a bit like a wine. It’s food friendly and can go with a wide range of dishes. A first-growth of beers.
