Yeast: Wyeast 3726

Sipping on glass of this Saison I bottled last year sometime. Most of the bottles disappeared real quick, but I am glad I kept a few.

This is probably the best Saison I have made. Really refreshing.

It is actually closer in taste to Orval (not technically a Saison) than say Saison Dupont. Probably due to the yeast.

Bummed I didn't wash the yeast as it is one of Wyeasts "Private Collection" varients. Currently growing some up from the bottle I am consuming right now

Thanks for the recipe! I have some washed yeast WY3726 / WY3724 blend that I've been waiting to use. I'll give this a try with Styrian and Saaz.
