What is a highly attenuated beer?

Answer 46

In brewing, attenuation refers to the conversion of sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the fermentation process; the greater the attenuation, the more sugar has been converted into alcohol.

A highly attenuative yeast strain consumes more wort sugars than a strain that exhibits lesser attenuation. While each yeast is unique, Belgian strains tend to attenuate a lot, American strains moderately, and English strains less enthusiastically.
