I specifically picked WLP500 (Chimay, WYeast 1214 I think) awhile back because I love Chimay and the description sounded great. It wasgreat for a long time, I've made several great beers with it.
But now I'm starting to find them too sweet. Even this stronger Belgian blonde I'm drinking now finished at 1.006 from 1.064 (no sugar added) tastes very sweet and strangely similar to the identical beer that I fermented with WLP002!! (That finished at 1.008)
I love Belgians, I just need a new strain that doesn't leave such a sweet impression, but still very Belgiany, fruity, with a good array of the classic Belgian flavors.
I have tried Ardeness 3522 a few times recently, and to me it comes off as a little too "sharp."
I can look up the descriptions, but you guys always say something to help me see through the vague descriptions on the yeast producers' websites
Thanks!
