I decided to take a gravity reading of the saison tonight. This was the first time using the White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale Yeast. So far I am very impressed. I was expecting this one to take awhile to attenuate, but after 5 days it is at 1.008.
The aroma is incredible, earthy and spicy. Flavors are developing very nicely, a great balance of lemons and pepper, with some nice hop bitterness and a refreshing dry finish. Alcohol is very soft and smooth. I can’t wait to bottle this one. I hope I can save some for the summer!
