Bel Pils
A bitter taste is the calling card of this Belgian pilsner, whose character comes from Saaz hops. It was created in 1930 as Extra Blond, went by Extra Pilsner from 1976 to 1991 and has carried the name Bel Pils since 1991. At 5 % ABV it is the Pils of Duvel Moortgat, the family brewery founded in 1871.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bel Pils
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
