Yeast was a beast, fermented vigorously the first three days, now mostly inactive within a week. |

Tapped and poured the first pint tonight. Nice light straw color, clear, good carbonation and a creamy white head. Taste is quite bitter and dry, a little peppery maybe. Not quite the fruity Belgian flavor I was expecting out of this yeast, but still quite good. |

Poured a couple pints tonight! Bright and clear, good carb. Tasted a bit of the Belgian banana notes, but it is quickly overshadowed by the hop bitter sharpness. The bittering hops I substituted for Brewers Gold was 12AA/oz, reduce this to 1 oz or 12-16AA next time. Otherwise, flavorful and drinkable! |

This is a very solid recipe. I had a can of Saison Du Pont this weekend, and while excellent, I think I like this beer better. Crisp and refreshing, this has cleared up nicely. Next time give it the full three weeks in the fermentor. |
