Notes:

Follow up...this recipe won 2nd place in the Belgian/French Ale Category at the Chattanooga Home Brew Competition. I'm not too upset with the 2nd place finish as my Saison won 1st place in the same category.

Notes:

Great beer. Recipe I brewed used Aromatic malt. I have since changed it to Caraaroma which I feel is what is used by Ommegang. The color was a little light with the Armatic Malt.
