A top fermenting ale yeast suitable for a wide variety of hoppy and distinctive style beers. This strain produces light, delicate fruity esters and helps to develop malt character.
Flavour/Aroma
Some pear esters, possibly strawberry or kiwi-like aromas can be expected. Clean, delicate malt and hop aromas will survive fermentation. If hop and/or malt aromas are prominent in the beer this strain’s aroma characteristics will fade to the background. Clean, mostly neutral and smooth, finishes beers moderately dry but does not strip away body. Silky, slightly smooth texture, light to medium body, mild acidity and mostly neutral flavour. Aroma contributions from this yeast strain makes it a good all-rounder for a wide range of ales.
Usage
Sprinkle contents directly onto a maximum of 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort.
