+1. Hey if you like it and can drink it then that counts as well. I do agree with Stellar though. I would go with the WLP550 or Wyeast equiv 3522 since I really think that produces a good Belgian character without an overpowering sourness to it as well. Let us know how it continues to progress.Hey, sometimes you just have to experiment to find out. Sometimes the results are dissapointing, and sometimes you get a wonderful surprise. I salute you for trying. It might be interesting to see how the character of this beer develops with some age.

Dude, you're avatar is all win. One of my all time favs. I like to get a tanker of that every time I go to their brewery up in Healdsburg.+1.

Thanks Badogg, I am a huge fan of the IPA style and I can get Racer here in NC as well. I think its an awesome IPA. I drank one as I brewed my Pale ale last night too. Someday I hope to get out there to CA and see all the kick azz breweries. Thats been my avatar theme for this site putting up bottle lablels of beers I have tried and liked. Racer 5 is one for sure. I picked up a bottle of Red Rocket and going to try that for the first time as well. Beer like that I would be up at at the brewery often.Dude, you're avatar is all win.

I think tartness can easily be confused with sourness. Many strains do produce a tartness that can be overwhelming, and the thought goes immediately to sour, but I will agree, these are 2 different senses. Wyeast's forbidden fruit gives an unbelievable tartness, and ferments with cherry and fig, but it is by no means souring. Just being nitpicky I guess.Are you sure you aren't tasting dryness in combination with a tart, fruity aroma?
