Who is like God

Quis ut Deus — Belgian Golden Strong Ale — Microbrewery Opperbacco

Quis ut Deus is the Belgian Golden Strong Ale crafted by Microbrewery Opperbacco, an artisanal brewery in Notaresco (Teramo, Abruzzo). A beer with a high alcohol content inspired by the category of Belgian Golden Strong Ale — muscular and light beers that emerged in Belgium after the Great War as a response to the success of Pils. The name — Who is like God? in Latin — reflects the ambition of this beer: powerful, elegant, irresistible.

The History of Belgian Golden Strong Ale

The Belgian Golden Strong Ale originated in post-war Belgium as a response from Belgian breweries to the spread of Pils: light, bright beers that seem easy to drink — but with a significant alcohol content well hidden. The most famous is Duvel, but the style has inspired dozens of interpretations around the world. Opperbacco brings this tradition to Abruzzo.

Sensory Profile

On the nose, notes of citrus, pear, spices, and apricot emerge, fresh and inviting, with tendencies reminiscent of honey and flowers appearing later. On the palate, it is full and enveloping, with the alcohol content elegantly hidden behind the aromatic complexity of the Belgian yeast. The finish is long, spicy, with an alcoholic warmth that warms without being aggressive.
