Description

One of our most popular saison strains, it is great for farmhouse style beers because it produces flavors and aromas of pear, apple and cracked pepper. WLP590 French Saison Ale Yeast is a go-to strain for brewers chasing an authentic French farmhouse character. Its high attenuation and clean fermentation profile let the signature pear, apple, and black pepper notes come through without excess yeast funk, making it equally suited to traditional saisons, biere de garde, and Belgian pale ales. Because it tolerates alcohol up to 15%+ and ferments across a wide temperature range (68–85°F), WLP590 gives homebrewers and commercial brewers flexibility to dial in fermentation character to taste.
  • This strain is a high attenuator producing a very dry and drinkable finishing beer.
