All fermentables from grain but that's my preference. I like the belgian yeast flavours but some of the more extreme ales can be cloying. All the same it worked out well and will be getting made again as soon as i get back home. Keeps its head all the way to the bottom of the glass.

Sounds tasty....where's the pic?
The lighter coloured one is it but this was early and from the keg so not as clear or as well carbonated as the bottles turned out. The Yeast slurry is still at home in the fridge and i will be making the same again when i get back but i think i will bottle the lot. It seemed that the yeast flavours and the hops blended well in this one to give a nice citrus flavour with a light belgian yeast profile. Might up the pilsner and aim for about 4.5%ABV since i know i like it.
