Well the Duvel was a bit of a mistake; to these taste buds it basically comes across like a deluxe super-lager. I'll be sticking to Weissbier (or maybe one or two of the less strong Belgian trappist brews) from now on.
One thing to keep in mind, I was taught while drinking beers barefoot in Brugges, is to make sure you have the correct glass for the beer. I also thought you should make sure you're barefoot in Brugges when sampling beers. Oh, and there is no staph in Belgium.
Wheat beers are about my favourite! Mellow and cloudy and with a lovely Nachgeschmack, by-and-large. I usually switch it up between Weihenstephaner and Franziskaner Weiss. I lived in Munich for a short while back in the '90s, and one of my favourites there was Ayinger; haven't seen it being imported to this neck of the woods - yet. Never developed a taste for British ales (too sour or bitter tasting), bar milk stout.
