We hosted our new friends Tartarus Brewing earlier in the year and decided to brew up a big, boozy and beautiful Belgian golden strong. Brewed traditionally using a simple malt bill of all german lager malt, hopped lightly with Tettnang and Herkules hops and fermented warm with Belgian yeast for maximum fruity and spicy esters. It pours a bright straw colour with a large foamy head, aromas of sweet pear and tangerine dominant along with hints of bubblegum and peppery spice. At 9.9% it has a surprisingly smooth, light and crisp body with just a hint of booziness.

A really nice and solid Belgian ale. Boozy, but still tasty and balanced Hazed golden pour and a decent head Pleasant intensity in the aroma Mellow sweetness and a mild acidity Also a mellow carbonation level. Easy to drink Ok masked alcohol level. No sticky alcohol notes Yeast, fruity, malty, flowers and some spices in the flavor [On tap at TÆPS in Fredrikstad, Norway]

Can from Brewser. Light hazed golden colour with a white head. Aroma and taste are malty, fruity citrus, spicy yeast. It certainly has a Belgian strong beer taste. Slight sweet and spicy taste. Full boozy body.
