From all i've seen about Belma, they sound like its either pretty mellow or an intense strawberry & melon. Also seems like the consensus is they are a bit underwhelming on their own so I'm thinking some Nelson Sauvin should liven it up. If the berry/melon notes come out, figure honey malt would meld well. American wheat sounded like a perfect platform to test it out to me. Let me know if you have any suggestions/concerns.

If i get the intense strawberry notes, I'm considering adding some vanilla & lactose when I keg for a strawberries & cream touch. could be interesting, could be terrible.
