Brewcraft Belgian Ale

Post New Review


I like it but...
by FazerPete @ 11, Oct 2007

 4/5

Made with 600g LDME, 400g DDME, 400g Dex, 50g Crystal, 50g Black malt, 30g Tettenanger up to 21 ltrs. Fermented for 10 days, kegged and tasted a week later. Has an unusual but not unpleasant flavour that I quite like. Holds a good head and the aroma is fantastic. The only problem is I've never had a Belgian ale before so I don't know if the taste is authentic but I reckon it's pretty good.

 4/5

brewed this kit twice now, the first at room temp (prob ~ 24 C)with 1 KG light dry malt extract and activated kit yeast, the second the same but 1KG dark extract. Both marvellous, big head, great mouth, sweet palate with long dry-ending finish. next time will be with cultured Chimay yeast.
 
Leave Belgian beer to the Belgians!

 3/5

Made with just the kit and a body brew, it was bland and lifeless at first, but the fruitiness came out after a couple of months. Of note is its clean finish and fine head, but still tastes like a British attempt at a Belgian Ale, although the fruitiness is a nice touch. I expect it would be better as an all-malt brew.
 
Lovely Indeed

 4/5

Lovely, made with kit yeast + 500g light, 250 grams maltodextrin, 250 grams dextrose, brewed @ about 24 degree's for 5 days, then 7 days racked. A new batch is already brewing but added, boiled fruit(nectarines + strawberry's) to enhance fruiteness. Would possibly recommend make to 20 litres for creamier finish rather then 23 litres.

 4/5

Made as per recipe subtituting light dry malt for spray malt and using safale yeast. Very nice fruity beer. reasonably dark and a little cloudy but very drinkable all the same.
