Anyone tried this yeast yet?
I've tried this dried yeast directly against my usual recipe that I use with the wyeast French Saison yeast.
General feedback is it ferments well and attenuates to leave a nice dry beer just as a French Saison should.
I would say it doesn't have the full fruit and French Saison funk that the wyeast French Saison liquid strain has.
I've also noticed that the CML dried version has a horsey/cardboard element to it. More like a Belgian Saison yeast rather than the French style that you would expect.
All in all it's a pretty good yeast. Which at the cost of it you can't complain with. I would however be inclined to use this yeast in more of a Belgian style and I think it would work well in a more malty base with a higher alcohol content.
