Really happy with this beer. I wanted something light on tap, but still wanted to get that Belgium flavor I have been enjoying lately. It is a pretty simple little beer, but packs a ton of flavor. It is Saison-like, but less dry and has that classic Bel. yeast character. Crushable!

Thanks for the recipe, this sounds like a great alternative to the high and heavy dubbels and tripels while still retaining classic Belgian yeast flavors. I love heavy Belgian ales but they pack a ton of calories. I'll post back here when I brew it.

Edit: Gorgeous photo, totally sold me on trying out this recipe!
 
I don't think you mention what yeast you used?

Thanks man! I hope you enjoy the beer. Its a pretty simple, stress free brew day and you get a great table beer. The style can be interpreted in a number of ways. For me it should be simple and around 1.036 to 1.042, with your favorite Belgian yeast.

Im planning on re-brewing this one as is and experimenting with blends of different Belgian yeasts.

Cheers!
 
That looks delicious, and your photo (as always) is great. I'm planning my annual quadruple brew-day and should definitely work in getting a patersbier out of it.
 
Thanks radwizard! I brewed this recipe last night. Had some Corsendonk yeast sitting in my fridge for awhile, and this is a perfect way to use it! I wanted it a little darker, so I replaced half the Pils with Weyermann Abbey Malt, and subbed the cane sugar with dark Candi sugar. Will report back with the results.

Finished nice with expected flavor profile...
 
Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy it. It is a great beer to try different Belgian yeasts with, and really is just a base recipe that can be built off (adding darker malts, etc). I like to keep mine pretty simple, and use a good amount of Wheat. I'll have to give the 3522 a try on this, sounds awesome. So many yeasts, so little time....

Cheers!

Belated update - this recipe using yeast harvested from a Corsendonk Pater is really great. Super crushable, but still feels like you’re drinking something significant. Noticed a metallic finish after 3 weeks, but around week 5 this beer really sang. Went for something a bit darker, but it probably wasn’t necessary.
 
Brewing a version of this today, I'm about halfway through the boil right now. I used up a bunch of little bits of this and that so my grain bill is a little out of control.
