Description
A top fermenting ale strain suitable for American style ales. This yeast produces an exceptionally clean flavor, ideal for when you want the hop character to really punch through. Beers fermented with this strain will finish dry, and very light beers will not be thin or watery. Acidity will be low, and mouthfeel will be light and soft on the palate with a smooth non-astringent texture. As this strain is highly flocculant and resilient and not prone to autolysis, it is excellent for cask or bottle conditioning.
