About

This is an extremely versatile Saison strain that can be used in the production of a broad array of beer styles. It performs best when fermented warm, however can tolerate lower temperatures. At lower temperatures expect light esters and citrus notes, though when fermented much warmer (23°C or higher) one can expect pepper, spice, and an explosion of esters. This strain is very attenuative and will result in dry beers but will still result in a very pleasing mouthfeel.
