I have a Golden Strong Belgian that just came out of the fermentor. The FG is 1.006 according to two hydrometers and my new refractometer (corrections applied). The OG was 1.072. I tasted the sample used for the testing and it is good, with a pleasant fruity taste. But strangely, the uncarbonated sample tastes sweet. This was confirmed by three others. I did not expect a sweet taste in a beer that finished at 1.006. Is it the yeast and fruitiness I am tasting or is it really sweet?
