This may sound strange, or at least it potentially sounds strange, but I'm trying to determine what type of beer I brewed.

I originally thought I would try and do a Belgian White, and designed the recipe, which is only my second recipe, around that. The Home Brew Supply store that I use was out of the White Labs WLP400 (Belgian Wit Ale Yeast). They were also out of the White Labs WLP550 (Belgian Ale Yeast), and though I prefer White Labs, they were out of the SAFALE S-33 (Belgian Strain) as well as the WYeast #3944.

I chose to go with the White Labs WLP565 (Belgian Saison I Yeast). I used Extra Light and Wheat DME, and added a quarter cup of honey in the initial boil and hopped with Kent Goldings.

The ale, before bottling and priming it, is a pale golden color, and has a dry flavor actually, with very little after taste.

So I return to my initial question, what type of ale would this be classified as?
 
I live in San Antonio, so I would say it was up in the upper 70s to low 80s. I wasn't monitoring temperature at all. This will be only my fourth attempt, well fifth, but one blew up, literally, and each attempt is a step toward learning.
