East Midlands yeast from White Labs is another British strain with some unique properties. It is a very attenuative strain of British yeast, which leaves beers very dry. It is good to use on British and American style ales when a dry finish is desired. It can produce low to moderate levels of both esters and fusel alcohols, giving beers a slight fruit character, with the beer remaining fairly neutral overall. This strain has been used with great success to produce a wide range of British and American style ales.
