Comments: This yeast worked out perfect for my every day Belgian ale. Just the right amount of sourness is evident and matches the maltiness perfectly. I will use this again for sure.

" ... really delivered a Belgian taste"

Beer Brewed: Trippel, Saison
Comments: The attenuation was great. 1081 finished at 1012 and a 1055 finished at 1006. The recipes both contained 15-20% sugar. The nose was on the fruity side as the fermentation temps were warm - pitched at 74F. The taste was much more spicy than fruity and really delivered a Belgian taste. The yeast flocculated more than I was hoping for, providing a nice clear beer.
