Duvel Green is single-fermented and filtered, where Duvel is fermented
twice (second time in the bottle, both using the same yeast, we were told), and
it comes in at a reduced 6.8% ABV. It is, however, brewed with that same yeast,
same Styrian Golding and Saaz hops, and the same pilsner malt as the original.
It is a completely new beer, not the "Duvel Gefilterd Green," not Duvel without
the second fermentation.
…
How was it? Scary drinkable for 6.8%, as you might expect. Light-bodied,
with a spicy nose (Duvel is a bit heavier and has a more complex nose; more
carbonation, too), very refreshing.
