Belgian Saison I

About

Well regarded as a farmhouse ale strain despite fickle fermentation behavior. It has fruity complexity, good phenolics and a tart and dry finish. It's better at warm fermentation temperatures, but is still well known to stall around 1.030. Try using an additional strain to aid attenuation, or the more reliable Saisonstein's Monster (OYL-500), Belgian Saison II (OYL-042) or French Saison (OYL-026).
