    Saisons, Belgian Ales, Belgian Reds, Belgian Browns, and White beers are just a few of the classic Belgian beer styles that can be created with this yeast strain. Phenolic and spicy flavors dominate the profile, with less fruitiness then WLP500.

Notes

I have been drinking this one for the summer and it tastes great! Improves even more with a month or two of aging.e

I changed the aroma hop to Citra and upped some of the additives. Everyone loves it.
