A traditional altbier-style yeast from Du?sseldorf, Germany. It produces clean, malty German brown and amber ales. This strain keeps the contribution of hop bitterness in the background while promoting sweet malt notes.

This yeast produces a beer that is malty and well balanced. Expect toasty flavors with malt-driven esters. Highly flocculent and a good choice for English-style pale ales, brown ales, and milds.

This strain has more similarities to an English strain than WLP001 California Ale Yeast®. It is a big ester producer, showcasing notes of cherry and apple which compliment pale ales, blonde and brown ales. Typically leaves some residual, lager-like sulfur compounds in finished beer. Recent sequencing studies show that this strain belongs to Saccharomyces pastorianus species, the same hybrid species as most lager strains. However, this strain has been used to make ales for decades and was previously categorized as belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

This blend of three strains creates a clean and neutral fermentation character, making it ideal for use in many different American beer styles. The blend lends complexity to finished beer by exhibiting a crisp, clean lager-like character with accentuated hop flavors and bitterness. A slight amount of sulfur can be produced during peak fermentation.
