About

A ridiculously thorough flocculator thought to be from a highly regarded English ESB. This strain has unique fruitiness and noticeable finishing sweetness. Drops out quickly and completely. Easy to crop, but needs a diacetyl rest. To enhance the fruit, ferment up at the recommended temperature ceiling.

Flavor Profile

Unique fruitiness with noticeable finishing sweetness. Excellent flocculator from ESB heritage. Enhanced fruit character at higher fermentation temperatures.
