WILLIAM'S BELGIAN QUAD

I bought this in hopes of getting something close to St. Bernadus abt12. It was just too sweet and lighter in color than I would have preferred. Not sure of the reason, but its close to a Belgian wit. Several people that have tried it said it was close to Blue Moon. It is not a bad beer at all. It has a good flavor but it just wasn't what I was expecting.

This was my first Belgian beer. It had a very strong alcohol presence to begin with, but after letting it age for another month it was a tasty treat. The sweet belgian flavor masked the strong alcohol content. My was about 10% and you wouldn't know it, until you tried to drink a 3rd glass, then you found out how strong it was. 

This is a great kit. The results are amazing. My certified beer judge friends loved this one even though it isn't an actual style. It is very complex and the flavors are amazing. It is almost fruity with peach notes yet has other good complex flavors. Many non beer drinking women love this beer. Warning - this kit is a high gravity beer and has a lot of failure modes for beginners. It needs a yeast starter, oxygen aeration, and time in secondary to get a good fermentation. I let mine age for two months to ensure fermentation was complete. If not, if you bottle condition, detonation is a real problem with these kits. My friends have lost entire batches that way. All in all, amazing flavor and great beer if done correctly.
