This Belgian-style Strong Golden Ale is everything that I’d want it to be. It was a beautiful straw-gold color with a slight cloudiness, due to the fact that it was conditioned in the bottle. It was certainly Belgian-style — fruity esters rose up from a rich yeastiness. And yes, it was strong — a sly 9% ABV was enough to make me stay local for the night.
