Description

This popular German strain is used in the production of traditional, authentic hefeweizen.
- It produces a high level of isoamyl acetate, giving the resulting beer notes of banana.
- With balanced phenol production, this strain produces notes of clove but remains banana-forward.
- Low flocculation leaves the desired cloudy look, appropriate for the German wheat beer style.
- The pitching rate and temperature will dramatically affect the flavor and aroma of this strain. Traditional brewing techniques suggest underpitching to produce more classic characteristics of the style.
