Normally, I wouldn’t discuss another brand. I saw that Norhtern Brewer had a Belgian Tripel IPA, which I’m sure is quite good but I wanted something lower gravity after a winter of 1080 beers. It came with Danstar’s dry saison yeast, but I used White Labs Trappist since it was close to the expiration date.
Anyway, tastes great. As the temperature is creeping up, it’s quite tasty and refreshing.
I mostly use NB kits, so the B on the cap is adequate identification for me.
I had the White Labs Trappist vial from last fall and decided to use it on the Belgian IPA instead of the supplied Danstar yeast. I was too cheap to throw it out. I’m still going to use the Danstar Belle Saison, but on a NB saison kit. The Brewer’s Best kit was still fairly new.
