Duvel Triple Hop Citra 330ml

Belgian IPA
To give Duvel an extra level of bitterness and explosiveness, a third hop called Citra was added. Citra has a fresh aromatic taste with hints of grapefruit, tropical fruit, and notes of citrus.
The refermentation in the bottle and a long maturation, guarantees a pure character, delicate effervescence and a pleasant, sweet taste of alcohol. The aromatic Citra hop is grown in the Yakima Valley (USA). This third hop is added during the lagering process, which makes it a dry-hopped brew.
The long maturation and qualitative craftmanship make this beer slow brewed to perfection.

Food Recommendations:
The fresh taste of the Citra goes well with salty sea flavours such as salmon, tuna, shrimp and mussels. If you don��t like fish, matured cheese such as Red Leicester and cheddars also balance the Duvel Tripel Hop flavour. The citrus notes combine well with green vegetables such as broccoli, asparagus, and Brussel sprouts.

Duvel Tripel hop Citra is best served at a temperature of 5°C. To bring out the full aromas, Duvel Tripel hop Citra should be poured at an angle of 45° in the iconic Tulip glass. The foam preferably starts in the middle of the red D and fills the glass, stopping at 1cm from the top.

Anno 1871
Duvel is being brewed by the fourth generation of the Moortgat family. Even though Duvel is a Belgian beer, the founder was inspired by English ales. Albert Moortgat himself selected a specific Scottish yeast strain, which is still used today. Duvel started experimenting with the third hop variety in 2007. Citra was the second version, which launched in 2012. Later Duvel Moortgat searched for the ultimate hop, with Citra as the clear winner.

Duvel. Brewed to be lived.

Awards: In its launch year, 2012, Duvel Tripel Hop Citra won the golden medal at the Brussels Beer Challenge. That same year, the beer was awarded the consumers award at the Zythos Beer festival.
