Character: Dry, crisp and clean with mild ale character.
A German ale strain that ferments dry and crisp with low ester, giving a clean, lager-like ale. Its low flocculation means it clears slowly, so it usually needs a cold crash or filtration for a bright beer. Ferment cool for the cleanest result.
