Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling {{CalculateBoilVolumeDisplay}} gallonsliters at {{CalculatePreBoilGravityDisplay}} for {{CalculateBoilTimeDisplay}} minutes, this will decrease your wort by {{CalculateBoilLoss}} gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to {{CalculateFinalGravityFromPreBoilGravity}}.

You were planning on an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}} so you are right on track. Nice job! You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be over. You wanted an OG of {{RecipeSummary.Og}}. It looks like it will be under.

Notes:

Pours pale yellow, hazy, with about 3 fingers of foam that dissipates relatively quickly. Aroma is a mix of orange citrus and bread dough, a little bit of clove if I search for it. Flavor is dominated by a spicy, citrusy yeast and really intensifies as you swallow which then moves into a light-to-medium bitterness; there's a touch of booziness at the end but the breath is really dominated by a spiciness from the yeast. Body is medium and there's a bit of sharpness from the carbonation. Overall, the flavor is belgian yeast character and the hop bitterness complements that spiciness, so it's really well done. The fruity character of the beer plays a role but is not in the lead, so I like that quite a bit. Of note, the sulfur that was dominant during fermentation is nowhere to be found. 4 stars as it is a solid saison but I wish it were just a little more intense, which can only come from the yeast variety.
