First off, apologies if I shouldn't be bumping this old thread.
Finally bottled my attempt this past weekend. OG of 1.072 FG of 1.008 for a nice 8.4% abv beer. I'm pretty happy with the attenuation.
Belle Saison lives up to it's rep as not flocculating very well. I used cut a piece of a grain bag to cover the bottom of the auto-siphon but lost a bit more beer than I'd like as I was still getting cloudy pulls when I got near the trub.
Ended up with a mere 20 count of 22oz bottles along with 4 12oz bottles (less beer lost when I check for carbonation). I'll get better at my volumes eventually.
Tasted it and it's definitely a belgian, fruity flavors from the yeast are right there, nice hop flavor and aroma. I noted a slight metallic aftertaste, hops, green beer, extract tang, I'm not sure.
Had a few people try it as we had guests while bottling and they (including the S/O who's not a huge beer fan) said it tastes good so maybe I'm just overly critical of my own stuff.
Gonna bottle condition for 3 - 4 weeks and see how it tastes.
