Abbey Blonde
The BJCP guidelines continue to be a handy resource from which we draw inspiration and ideas for our DIY Beer recipes. However until now the Belgian Strong Ale category had not been covered. Why? It's widely considered that the soul of Belgian Ale styles is the yeast and to capture the style with a limited selection of dried ale yeast strains is a challenge. But! with hard work, sheer determination and after numerous iterations, we are quietly high fiving ourselves with how neatly this brew sits in the Belgian Blonde Ale sub-category (18.A.) Just like a Monk in the Abbey of a Belgian Monastery, try serving slightly warmer than fridge temperature from 'tulip shaped' glassware and perhaps accompanied by a wedge of your favourite camembert or brie. Devine !
