Did you calculate the concentrations of the various ions?

"Belgian beers" is a broad category! It's tough to make sweeping generalizations about such a varied beer culture.

It's fine to make sweeping generalisations about one's own preferences though isn't it?

That's an odd question.

I think RPIScotty misread my first post. I thought it was pretty clear that I was expressing a personal preference rather than making a sweeping generalisation about Belgian beer. I assume you missed the point too.

My comment was in jest. No worries! I figured you meant Pale beers and blondes.

Fair enough. Yes beers like Leffe and Duvel and Dupont are definitely my preference as I don't make or drink high abv beers very often. If you look on ratebeer or homebrew websites you'll find most beer-geeks rate strong beers highest, eg Westvleteren, but they aren't everyday drinkers - the golden ales are much more popular and found in pretty much every supermarket in Europe.

I enjoy them all! Except maybe Leffe. Not a big fan.

Yep, I've brewed several of them. Some nice recipes there.

Oh yeah. Those are in my onedrive brewing folder. Great resource. They are going to be releasing an ebook soon on brewing Belgian ales.

Yes:

OK. So basically additions were moderate.

Precisely. And yet still reliably distinguishable by a blind panel of tasters. Gnarly stuff.
