Belgian ale not from a monastery and ABV range 6-7.5%?

• A. Belgian Tripel
• B. Belgian Golden Ale
• C. Belgian Dubbel
• D. Weissbier

Answer: (B)

The key idea is matching a Belgian beer style to both its production origin and its typical alcohol level. Belgian Golden Ale fits because it’s a modern Belgian style not tied to monastic or abbey brewing, and its usual ABV sits around 6–7.5%. In contrast, traditional abbey-style Belgian ales (like those often labeled Dubbel or Tripel) are historically linked to monasteries, with Tripels typically higher in alcohol (often above 7.5%) and Dubbels usually around 6–7% but still abbey-associated. Weissbier is German, not Belgian. So the combination of “not from a monastery” and “ABV 6–7.5%” points to Belgian Golden Ale.
