Taste Notes
Aroma: Clean, some phenolics, some spiciness - 8/12
Appearance: Hazy, very pale gold, low head retention, needs more for style - 1.5/3
Flavour: Sweet malt, clean, very restrained phenolics and esters. Good flavours - 17/20
Mouthfeel: Alc. warmth, some creaminess, more body for style. 4/5
Overall Impression: Clean and good flavours - More body, clarity and head retention would be good but a great effort. 8/10Notes
This BGS got a first place at the Bungendore show 2013 With a score of 38.5/50. Some say entering beers in the Bungendore Show is like shooting fish in a barrel, however, They hatin' I'm brewin' because it was was my first ever time entering a beer in a comp and first ever Belgian Golden Strong :-)
Fermentaion scheduled: 7 day ramp up. From 18 celcius raise to 28 celcius over 7 days and hold there until fully attenuated. This one got down to 1.001.
