Recommended for English bitter, porter, stout, ESB.

Character: Dry, malty, mineral-driven London ale character with light fruit.

A classic London ale strain that leaves a slight fruity ester and a dry, mineral finish, the profile behind English porters and bitters. Medium flocculation means it may need a cold crash to fully clear. It is the White Labs counterpart to Wyeast 1028.
