Notes
Recommended for witbier, Belgian white, spiced wheat ale.
Character: Slightly phenolic, tart Belgian witbier character.
The classic Belgian witbier strain, slightly tart and phenolic, built for a spiced wheat beer with coriander and orange peel. Low flocculation keeps the beer cloudy, which is the point for a wit. Ferment warm to lift the spice.
