Danstar Belle Saison

*******

Brewed for my step-daughter and her gluten reduced diet. The base recipe was pulled together from hints on HBT. The hops were chosen from leftovers. Pear was step-daughter's request. Of the Danstar options, Belle Saison was chosen for the pear. Wort tasted good.

Rafikah Rose is the step-daughter's distance Arabian.

First taste: 16 July 2014.

Would be interested in OG, FG of the main brew and also of the partial mash yield results.

I like the name! I name most of my favorite brews after awesome animals!

Updates will be necessary! This does seem really good. Really interested how the pear pairs (ha) with the saison yeast.

Sorry Chris, my original 2009 hydrometer has not left the original packaging. The batch is 5.25 gallons in the primary.

Ok-ish, much better than Green's and St. Peter's, not as good as Tweasonale.
Pear comes through.
