These are two very interesting beers, widely available in most supermarkets, and inexpensive (particularly when compared with good quality wines). Belgium has given us many gems: Dr Evil, &#8216;In Bruges&#8217; and wonderful beer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Duvel Belgian Golden Ale<br \/>\n<\/strong>8.5% alcohol. Pale yellow colour. Tangy, hoppy and a bit bitter, but sweet and rich at the same time. It&#8217;s like a pale ale on steroids, with lovely lime and grapefruit freshness as well as complex hoppy notes. A nice food beer. 9\/10<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chimay &#8216;Blue&#8217; Trappist Beer 2010<br \/>\n<\/strong>9% alcohol. This vintage-dated beer is apparently best before the end of 2015, although like most beers its lifespan is shortened by the fact that the crown cap has a simple PVC liner, meaning that the oxygen transmission rate will be quite high. It&#8217;s a full brown colour with an orange tinge. Rich, malty and complex this has a spicy warmth countered by a bitter treacle note. Rich textured and hedonistic. 8.5\/10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my occasional forays into the world of beer.
