Description
An easy to handle strain, this neutral-tasting, quick-and-good flocculator and highly productive top cropper has excellent attenuation. Any fruity esters are somewhat mild through its higher temperature range, though they do decrease at the lower end. The relatively subtle yeast-contributed flavor cedes pleasantly to hops and malts.
