Which of the following is a trait of a Belgian golden strong ale?

Assertive hop bitterness
Caramel malt flavor
High ABV (7.5-10.5%)
Low carbonation

The correct answer is: High ABV (7.5-10.5%)

A is incorrect because Belgian golden strong ales are characterized by complex malt flavors, not hop bitterness. B is incorrect because caramel malt flavor is not a prevalent trait in Belgian golden strong ales. D is incorrect because Belgian golden strong ales are highly carbonated to give a champagne-like effervescence. A Belgian golden strong ale is defined by its high ABV range of 7.5-10.5%, which is significantly higher than most other beer styles. This style also typically has a light body and dry finish, and may contain fruity or spicy yeast notes. The other options do not accurately align with these traits and are therefore incorrect.
