I've never used it, but what about Wyeast 3522, Belgian Ardennes. It's what JZ uses in BCS for his Belgian Pale.

good idea. I think the 3655 was a specialty yeast back in 2006?? Is it still around?

Belgian Ardennes is a nice clean yeast for that style. Just be sure to keep the temp. mid 60's or so to control the phenolics. I bet you could even make a good BPA with 1214 too!

I posted the same question in the fermentation section!!!

Wyeast recommends the Ardennes, the Belgian Wheat (1214), and even the Trappist/High Gravity.
