Here's a list of some things to look out for:

21st Amendment Sneak Attack Saison (seasonal)
Allagash White
Allagash Tripel
Avery White Rascal
Avery Salvation (large bottles)
Bells Oarsman (will be lightly tart)
Bells Oberon
Boulevard 80 Acre Wheat
Dogfish Head Red and White (large bottle)
Goose Island Sofie
Goose Island Matilda
Green Flash Rayon Vert
Heavy Seas Red Sky at Night (Seasonal)
Kona Big Wave
North Coast Pranqster
Dominion Candy
Ommegang Hennepin
Southampton Double White
Stoudts Triple
Victory Helios
Victory Golden Monkey
Weyerbacher Merry Monks

That's a list of things in your realm of potentially liking. No exactly Duvels or anything, but in the same game.

Thanks for the list!  I'll be adding some of these to my phone to have on me to hunt for. Duvel is my staple.

Pranqster is one of the most overlooked beers, definitely give that a try. It's a bit sweeter than Duvel, I also find it a bit more fruity, but it's up there. The rest are just darn good light (in color) Belgians of various sorts. Enjoy!

Discovered a new to me brew from local brewery Red Brick.  Their Belgian style wheat 'Hibiscuwit' is pretty great. It has a fascinating cloudy deep golden red-orange appearance. I've found it in bottles and cans.  Overall a really nice score.

Fun story:  Shot a friend's wedding and they had Pranqster on tap.  Many loved it and were NOT used to higher alcohol content.  That reception ended up dancing on the tables. 

If you try Pranqster, also try Brother Thelonious too (fantastic off draft).  Same North Coast Brewery.

Hmm....was kind of startled at first, but I think I'm starting to get the sour apple and pear nature of this Duchesse De Bourgogne.

I generally get red wine vinegar/tart cherry myself, I'll have to get another bottle. Is it your first sour?

Yup. Unless one considers a Kriek sour. I've had Krieks before and that is definitely cherry.

Depends on what sort of kriek, something like Lindemans Kriek would be a sweetned lambic instead of a sour one, though most kriek lambics will be sour/funky. Sometimes you'll see beers that aren't lambics call themselves a kriek, or have kriek in the name, but it really shouldn't from my understanding and they won't likely have any sourness.
