"Highly recommend as 'house' lager"
By: Christopher Leonard
Brewery Name: General Lafayette Inn & Brewery
Date: July 25, 2007
Beers brewed: Pilsner, Oktoberfest, Bock, Doublebock, Dunkel,
Specialty Lagers
Comments: Clean, fast (for a lager), highly attenuative.
Ferments well with good flavor results at a wide range of temps. I
highly recommend this yeast as a "house" lager strain. It
will let you produce traditional beers while also being versatile
enough for unusual, experimental brews. I've used this yeast each
fall for the past 4 years. The beers fly out of here (and we are
mostly an "ale house").
