You may remember my post last week "burned out on my homebrew" in which I asked for a style suggestion to get me out of the rut of dark ales/stouts. Many of you recommended Belgians but I had not tried any Belgians with the exception of "belgian style wits" ie: Bluemoon. So, after a quick trip to my craft brew store here is what I purchased:
Monks Cafe Flemish Sour Ale
Piraat Ale
St. Sebastian Golden
St. Bernardus Abt. 12
Sterkens Dubble Ale
Did I purchase a decent selection to allow me to see the various categories within the style?
So far I have had the sour ale, which was interesting. I liked it and would be interesting in brewing something similar, but definitely would not be a daily drinker for me. My wife and I also tried and loved the Piraat ale and I am not digging for a good clone recipe.
I plan to try the last three this week.
