Duvel brews special ‘Tripel Hop’
Duvel Moortgat has begun selling a version of its classic Duvel with additional hops, calling it Duvel Tripel Hop.
The limited edition beer (approximately 20,000 bottles) is available mostly in Belgium, with some sold in the nearby region. Current plans do not call for a second edition of the beer, nor for any of it to be shipped to the United States.
“Trippel” in the name refers to the fact the beer is hopped with three kindsd of hops rathr than the usual two, and at a higher hopping rate (though not three times a much as Duvel, which measures 30 bittering units).
As well as using Syrian Goldings and Saaz in this beer, as is typical, the brewers at Duvel included the American hop Amarillo in the boil, then dry hopped with Styrian Goldings.

I think I’d trade my left testicle for a case of this beer.

I’ve just bought a 750ml bottle of this, yet to be tasted but sure to be tremendous, stuff for £13.50, a bit on the steep side but how can you turn it down!! Good old Duvel!!!
