Description

A classic saison strain sourced from the Wallonia region of Belgium. This strain makes a classic saison by producing flavors and aromas noted as earthy, peppery and spicy.

  • With attenuation averaging around 65 to 75%, some malt flavor will remain present.
  • For best fermentation results, let this strain free-rise to allow for complete attenuation and production of the subtle, traditional aroma characteristics.
  • With high gravity saisons, it’s suggested to dry the beer with an alternate yeast (such as WLP001 California Ale Yeast®) added after 50 to 60% fermentation.
