Description

Known for its use in malty English beers, this strain is a great choice for any beers using traditional English malts like Marris Otter, Golden Promise or floor malted barley.
  • This strain will push bready, grainy malt flavors while being a mild ester producer.

WLP005 is a workhorse strain for cask ales, bitters, and other traditional English styles where malt character should lead. Its high flocculation means it drops out of suspension quickly and cleanly, making it a popular choice for brewers who want bright beer without extended cold-crashing. Because it's a mild ester producer, WLP005 stays out of the way of the malt-forward profile these styles are known for.
