Popular for lower ABV styles and classic cask alike WHC Lab's Low Rider mk2 is a low attenuating yeast, guaranteed to help your booze cruise in style. It is a yeast species that cannot ferment maltotriose, leaving the attenuation in the mid 60s – depending on the mash temperature and grain bill used. The use of this yeast is focused on table/session styles and non-alcoholic to low alcohol beers.

This updated strain produces a moderate amount of biotransformation and glycerol production helping the table beer have a fuller mouthfeel and complexity. This yeast strain showcases an extraordinary ability to accentuate tropical and citrus hop aromas, bringing a burst of juicy pineapple, mango, and citrus notes to the forefront of the beer.
