About

This versatile yeast ferments extremely well in dark worts. It is a good choice for most high gravity beers. Beers fermented in the lower temperature range produce a dry, crisp profile with subtle fruitiness. Fruit and complex esters will increase when fermentation temperatures are above 64°F (18°C).

Flavor Profile

Versatile Irish ale character. Dry, crisp profile with subtle fruitiness at cooler temps. Complex esters emerge at higher temperatures. Excellent for dark and high gravity beers.
