"The beer took a 1st place"
By: Michael A.
Date: May 5, 2008
Beer Brewed: Strong Scotch Ale /Wee Heavy
Comments: This yeast produced a malty, full bodied ale. The beer ended up around 10-11% ABV with some (not much) residual sweetness. The finished beer took a 1st place ribbon in a hombrew contest.

" ... smells delicious while fermenting"

Beer Brewed: Oatmeal Stout, Old Ale
Comments: Irish ale yeast imparts a delicious fruity character to beer, which works very well with stouts, porters, and my most recent beer an Old Ale. The fruitiness pulls the residual sweetness of brown sugar together with a hoppy spicy bite for a very balanced brew. Also, IAY smells delicious while fermenting. No elephant farts!

" ... the yeast was robust"

Beer Brewed: Irish Red
Comments: I used this yeast to make an Irish Red as part of a wedding gift. Having gone out of my realm of brewing wheats and in the midst of the summer, I was not sure I could keep the temperature low and I was right. Although the temperature slightly exceeded (+2 or 3 degrees) the recommended range, the yeast was robust and yielded a beer that was a hit. I gave the beer sufficient time to age and work out diacetyl and in the end it the beer was true to style, and true to the yeast description having a hint of diacetyl, light fruitiness and a dry finish even though it had a malty profile.

"Great Irish style stout"

Beer Brewed: Oatmeal stouts
Comments: Great yeast to create nice dry stout. For years I have tried other dry and liquid yeasts, but this one definitely will give you a great Irish style stout. Works great in Imperial and Oatmeal Stouts as well. Nice yeast!

" ... Every beer turned out great"
By: David Dameron
Date: May 31, 2007
Beer Brewed: All Grain. All Styles.
Comments: I used this yeast for the first time in an all-grain Irish Stout kit I purchased last year. I was so impressed with the results that I tried it in one of my home made Pale Ale recipes. To make a long story short, I brewed about 20 batches of beer last year. Everything from Pale Ale to Red to Nut Brown to Porter to Stout. I used this yeast in every beer and every beer turned out great. This is definately a great yeast for all-grain brewing.

" ... Produced an excellent stout"
By: Matthew Wood
Date: May 21, 2007
Beer Brewed: porter, stout
Comments: This yeast produced an excellent stout as well as the best porter I have ever tasted. It produced a very complex and pleasing flavor in each, and mellowed well and noticeably week to week even after 6 months in the bottle.
