Or maybe an american saison...
There is two years that I have the idea of this beer in my head.
I recently drunk an french brut ipa from a local brewery. It was very french, but it was not really an ipa.
I wish a beer dry and hoppy, with a smooth pepper and fruity aroma, eventully with a small resinous note.
I wish that still be balanced, with malt (honey, nutty and bready aroma) present, but less than hop and yeast note. I don't wish any sweetness end.
Fermentables:
30% castle malting 2rs pils.
30% dingemans pale malt (this malt has an characteristic belgian aroma, is darker and a lot more intense than uk pale malt).
30% oganic flaked wheat.
10% weyermann munich 2.
Some rice hull
0.3 g/l irish moss.

Hop:
1g/l aurora at flame out. (I love aurora, peppery and floreal without a lot of grassy and herbal, aurora works well with be134)
0.5g/l cryo sabro at flame out. (Fruity and fresh without a grapefruit dominance that doesn't fit with saison yeast aroma).
1g/l aurora at 15 min
0.5g/l cryo sabro at 15min.
Aurora as needed for 35 ibu at 60min.
