It is very pale at 1.6 °Lovibond and deliberately low in protein, which is what keeps a Belgian ale bright rather than hazy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 36.8 PPG with a minimum 230 °WK of diastatic power, roughly 70 °Lintner, it converts itself easily and carries plenty of unmalted adjunct alongside it. Dingemans notes it is ideal for single-step mash schedules, which is exactly what makes it forgiving to brew on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight, clean grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft cracker and fresh bread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaint honey sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePale straw color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutral enough to let yeast character lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts job is to get out of the way.
