Description

Clean, almost lager-like Belgian type ale yeast. Good for Belgian type pale ales and amber ales, or with blends to combine with other Belgian type yeast strains.

  • Biscuit, ale-like aroma present.
  • Hop flavors and bitterness are accentuated.
  • Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, which can give the yeast a lager-like flavor profile.
Recent sequencing studies show that this strain belongs to Saccharomyces pastorianus species, the same hybrid species as most lager strains. However, this strain has been used to make ales for decades and was previously categorized as belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
