A top fermenting ale strain suitable for American style ales. This yeast produces an exceptionally clean flavour, ideal for when you want the hop character to really punch through.
Flavour Mouthfeel: Beers fermented with this strain will finish dry and crisp. This strain is at it's best in hop prominent American style ales. Very light ales may turn out a bit stripped, thin or astringent if care is not taken with the mash temperature and avoiding over-extraction. Acidity is moderately high, boosting hop flavours and creating clipped finish.
Higher Alcohol Beers: Remaining very neutral, this strain excels in strong ales with simple malt bills. Alcohol will be a dominant flavour and aroma constituent, and may be quite warming but not harsh.
Suitable For: American Style Pale Ales, American Double IPAs & American Style Stouts.
