  Belgian Style - Strong Ale Special
Score
6.96
ABV: 6.66% IBU: - Ticks: 7
Our take on the Belgian golden strong style uses the same distinctive yeast which ironically originates from Scotland. Duvel harvested this yeast culture from bottles of McEwans scotch ale in 1918. The return of this yeast to a Scottish brewery is therefore well overdue. In this Scottish homage to the style, we utilised Golden Promise malt, plain beet sugar and hibiscus. The flavour profile from the yeast provides intense fruity esters with pear, apple and spice. The hibiscus adds a touch of citrus/berry fruit and an intense reddish pink hue.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy ruby body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of flower petals and salted bread. Flavour of berries and shortbread. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. An interesting, Belgian style beer - biscuity and bready.

440ml can from Oban Beer Shop - Hazy dark pink, light but fizzy peachy white top. Dusty cherry notes, hibiscus comes through, bit of funk from the yeast, breadiness and esters. Top gear this.

Tap at CAJS, Budapest, for Holy Goat's BPBW 2025 tap takeover - thanks Elena, Miro & Vášek! Hazy red body, not much head. Oxidized aroma, light cherry-floral notes. Hibiscus? Makes sense, bit dusty though. Lean, dry, oxidized body, light citric, yeasty, noted it was Belgian without knowing it was, go me, maaaaybe a bit floral-berryish but not much. Not sure if it was just this keg, but it was the worst of the lot, by far.
