A top-fermenting ale strain suitable for many types of ales of all strengths. Ferments with a neutral yeast aroma to ensure the full character of the malts and hops are prominent in each beer. Aroma characteristics: it has abundant classic banana esters balanced with clove like phenolic aromas these aromas tend to overwhelm any malt or hop character in the beer. Flavor mouthfeel characteristics: while this strain has only a moderate tendency to attenuate the final beer will not be sweet. Instead it will have a creamy silky mouthfeel with a full and rich medium body. This strain strips away most caramel and complex malt flavours while deep roast and chocolate flavours will come through. The slight acidity produced greatly enhances wheat malt characteristics. It has a very low flocculation rate that makes it ideal for beers that are traditionally served cloudy. Higher alcohol beers: in higher alcohol beers the phenolic character presented by this strain becomes a bit smokey and esters burst forth. Low attenuation rate may result in a sweet beer.
