Want to make excellent high gravity Belgian Ales? Give Bastogne Belgian ale yeast from White Labs a chance to show you what it can do! Described as clean and less spicy compared with other Belgian strains, this yeast still produces the fruity esters associated with Belgian strains, though the phenolic character is more restrained. This is an excellent choice for high gravity Belgian ales, such as dubbels and trippels. It could be used when a cleaner Belgian character is desired. Purportedly from a famous trappist monastery, it also does well in trappist-style ales. In addition, it is a good choice for specialty Belgian ales, such as Belgian-style fruit ales.

ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
