  • White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale

    White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale

    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

This is a simple, hoppy brew which depends upon Belgian Ale Yeast to mask any off flavors and high hopping rates to keep bacteria down. The bisquit malt helps to keep this one from becoming too fruity. Let me know what you think!
