WLP 585 Belgian Saison III Ale Yeast - PurePitch

White Labs WLP585 Belgian Saison III Ale Yeast

Produces beer with a high fruit ester characteristic, as well as some slight tartness. Finishes slightly malty, which balances out the esters. Also produces low levels of clovey phenolics. Great yeast choice for a summer Saison that is light and easy-drinking.

This saison strain is a fan favorite.  It leans way more on the fruity side than the peppery, clovy side, which is nice if you€„¢re like me and prefer a little bit more fruit and a lot less clove!  This is a perfect strain for lighter saisons, like our Spicy Saison recipe, and even a nice twist for blonde ales that you want to add some English to, like the Belgian Blonde.

This strain is killer because it€„¢s versatile and complex.  It€„¢s only a moderate attenuator, so won€„¢t give you that dry, French Saison character, which makes it a great candidate for something like a brett saison (consider our Saison Blanc recipe with some Brett c. if you do this - you€„¢ll thank me later).
