Description

Duvel’s glass is a properly designed piece of equipment, not just branding. The bowl is a wide tulip on a stubby stem, and the Duvel “D” etched into the bottom of the bowl is a nucleation point — it gives dissolved CO2 a place to form bubbles, so a steady column keeps rising and the head keeps renewing itself.

Duvel is a strong golden ale at 8.5%, and the tulip both concentrates its hop aroma and gives the famously large head room to stand. At €4.99 it is the best value on this list. 33cl.
