Belgian yeast

Belgian yeast refers to a specific type of yeast used primarily in brewing Belgian-style beers. This yeast is known for its unique ability to produce complex flavors and aromas, often contributing fruity, spicy, and sometimes earthy notes to the beer. It ferments at warmer temperatures, allowing for a wide range of flavors that can change depending on the specific strain used.
