A recent visit to the UK and upcoming ESB Annual Homebrew Competiton has prompted some action. Firstly I had to brew something completely non-English in order to get over the Real Ales I sampled thoughout the trip. So why not brew a Saison!! A recipe developed with support from Randy Mosher's Radical Brewing blended with some tweaks from Jamil Zainasheff's Beer Styles book, led to the creation of this recipe. Any success of this beer must be attributed to those guys. Brewed with Mick, we compiled two 22L batches with one using the Whitelabs yeast Saison I WLP565 and the other Saison Blend WLP568. The name of this recipe was derived from being in Abu Dhabi at the time of creation. Not the most alcohol tolerant place in the world but better the rest of the Middle East!
