Description

This strain can be used to reproduce many American versions of classic beer styles but has been gaining popularity for its use in East Coast IPAs. It’s a great all-around strain for balanced, accessible beer styles such as blondes, pale ales, and amber ales.

  • It is cleaner and crisper than other haze-producing strains.
  • It possesses a similar neutral character of WLP001 California Ale Yeast® with slightly higher ester production.
  • This strain’s attenuation leaves some mouthfeel and residual sweetness, which balances hop bitterness.
