Slow starter... Review by Trevor (Posted on 7/12/12): Product Rating:

For me, this has historically been a very slow starter. I generally do at least a 2L starter w/stir plate and step up from there if needed. I have used this several times for Belgian style beers and it usually takes at least 72hrs to take off. This is with yeast nutrient and have tried starters as high as 1.050 and as low as 1.030 with no difference. That said, I've never had one fail to go and am a big fan of this yeasts flavor profile. Just be patient and don't worry if you don't hit high krausen w/i 72hrs.....
Noble Trappist Ale Review by Brandon (Posted on 1/23/13): Product Rating:

I brewed the Noble Trappist Ale all grain kit using this yeast, and it came out very well. I made a starter, used yeast nutrient, and the yeast took right off, and finished strong. While fermenting it had some odd smells, like Banana, but I didn't taste that in the finished beer.
