Some of the Belgian beers are mighty strong also

Delicious and brutal.

Perhaps you don't know. But beer and ale are made purposely weak. That's three to four percent by volume. Wine is double that. Spirits up to one hundred percent. It is all about controlling the fermentation process.

Is there any reason that just because something is called "ale," that a 23rd century drink coming from the Romulans would have to, in any way, resemble what our definition of ale is on 20th century Earth? I mean, I'm not aware of any modern ales that are blue either, but yet Romulan ale is. And from the history we see on Trek, it seems clear that the Romulan ale packs quite a bit more punch than what we expect from modern ales.

It's concentrated. When used (legitimately) medicinally, it's diluted. Romulus doesn't want to charge you for the water.
