Key Characteristics

• Maltose-negative yeast: This strain does not ferment maltose, one of the main sugars in wort, limiting alcohol production to around ±0.1% ABV per degree Plato, which enables the creation of low alcohol or near non-alcoholic beers.
• Clean aroma and flavor: It produces beers with very low worty and grainy notes, and lacks phenolic off-flavors, resulting in a neutral and clean profile.
• Fermentation traits: It has a very fast fermentation rate with medium flocculation, fast diacetyl reduction, and performs best at fermentation temperatures between 18–22°C.
• Versatile for beer styles: Suitable for IPAs, NEIPAs, lagers, pale ales, stouts, and other varieties that benefit from a clean yeast profile without excessive alcohol
