Doodle Bop Belgium Single
Brewed: 01/29/2023 Kegged: 02/04/2023
Late in 2022, I looked through the 2021 version of the BJCP Guidelines and discovered ![DoodleBop.jpg](/Images/DoodleBop.jpg) that I'd never really brewed any beer in three of the Categories.
This included the 26. Monastic Ale Category.
I felt like I had to rectify this situation.
Of the beers in this category, I thought the Single would be most in my wheel house.
"A blond, bitter, hoppy table beer that is very dry and highly carbonated. The aggressive fruity-spicy Belgian yeast character and high bitterness is forward in the balance, with a soft, supportive grainy-sweet malt palate, and a spicy-floral hop profile."
I found an AHA recipe Chimay Dorée Clone, that I will probably use as a starting off point for my recipe.
The name "Doodle Bop" isn't directly named after the stupid children's show "The Doodlebops".
Actually it is named after a game that my youngest son used to play a bunch on his phone. I don't actually remember what the game was called, but it was close to "Doodlebop".
Whenever I saw my son playing it, I'd call it "Doodlebop". He'd smile and roll his eyes. Eventually he gave up correcting me, and its name became "Doodlebop".
Good times. Anyway ...
