I bet Wyeast 1214 "Belgian Ale" would work.

Choosing the yeast wont be that hard, just kinda in the dark about how much of those hops and what times they should be boiled at.

Well, you asked so I gave you my best answer re: the yeast.

As for the hops, all three are generally used as aroma hops, so I dunno. I'm sure Saaz doesn't work well as a bitteirng hop, but I have used Hallertauer for bittering in a hefe before. I don't know squat about Spalt.

The only recipe I have that looks similar if for a 7.7% ABV Belgian "strong golden ale". It uses .75oz Brewer's gold for bittering, .5oz Hallertau Hersbrucker at 15 min, and .25oz Styrian Goldings for aroma at 2 min.

So, looks like we might have the flavor hop nailed down. Sub the Saaz for aroma, and the Spalt for bittering, and I'll bet it gets you there.

I stopped at the big liquor store on the island that stocks imported exotic beers earlier tonight. One of the 6 I bought was a Biere Du Boucanier Golden Ale. I cracked it an hour ago. Wow, I defintely want to make this one. I think 12 oz bottles would probably be wiser with an 11% alcohol level.

Any word on this batch Somerville? Did you attempt it?
