Beer Style: Belgian Golden Strong Ale (18D)

Description:
This ended up a deep amber color with a mildly bitter hop profile. The Begian candi flavor is evident. Clarity is very good, head is extremely good. I'm very happy with the end result of this unusual combo. The work paid off on this one. I will definitiely make it again although I will experiment with different hops.

Steep specialty grains in 154F water for 45 minutes. Bring to boil then add Mt Hood Hops. I divided the DME into thirds. Boil 35 minutes, then add Belgian candi and Cascade hops and 1/3 of the DME. Boil another 20 minutes then add another 1/3 of DME. Boil another 10 minutes then add the last of the DME. Boil another 10 minutes then add coriander.
