OBSERVABLE TRAITS

AROMA CHARACTERISTICS:
Aroma from dry hop additions will be enhanced along with aroma from any fruit additions made during fermentation. The moderate, well-balanced ester profile from this yeast will complement the character from New World hops very well whilst also bringing out some malt character.
FLAVOUR/MOUTHFEEL CHARACTERISTICS:
This yeast ferments clean and relatively neutral, with the moderate, well-balanced ester profile adding subtle complexity. Beers fermented with this yeast have a moderately dry finish but will retain a good level of mouthfeel to prevent them from being too thin.
HIGHER ALCOHOL BEERS:
With a good alcohol tolerance of up to 10% ABV, this yeast works particularly well in stronger IPA styles. Higher ABV beers will retain a good level of body without being too heavy
