New Beer (for me) discovery

I feel like a johnny-come-lately to the party, but I just discovered the magic of Duvel, Belgium's finest. Crisp and clean, it has a deceptively high alcohol content at about 8.5%. I was a little skeptical, as when I poured it into a glass it looked suspiciously like a light pilsener. However, it reminded me more of champagne than beer. Like I said, very crisp, but also quite dry. At $5 for a 11.2 oz bottle it won't be my every day drinkin' beer, but I tried it a few weeks ago. My better half (she's not my special lady, man) bought me another Duvel as a Valentine's day present, so I got a chance to see if my memory of the first bottle was right. Good stuff.
