That's very contested in brewing cirles. If this was the case, why do
Belgians use so much sugar without the cidery flavor?

Some people say this is a wives tale from the beer kits that had
people add sugar to increase the alcohol. The cidery flavor was
attributed to the sugar when in fact it was stale malt extract that
was the culprit.

I have never experienced the cidery flavor and I have added
significant amounts of sugar to some of my brews.
