hist-brewing: green apple flavour (was:wild yeast....)

[Angus]

my point exactly, though i must admid than when I've used more than 50% table sugar I've gotten other "off-flavors" than green apple(diacetyl/2,3-butadione)
Belgian brewers very rarely use table sugar.  They do, however, use candy sugar from time to time.  Kwak is one of the beers its used in.  I have personally failed to detect any hint of green apples in a belian beer so far though.
