Hessian Pils

About

Hessian Pils is a single strain of Saccharomyces pastorianus that hails from the Hess region of Germany. It exhibits everything you want in a great Pilsner yeast: it's a clean fermenter with low ester formation, exhibits a short lag time, ferments wort quickly and attenuates well even at the low end of the temperature range. These characteristics allow the malt and hop profile to really shine, and creates a crisp finished beer.

Flavor Profile

Clean lager yeast. Crisp fermentation with malty backbone. Minimal ester production.
