Notes
Recommended for American pale ale, American IPA, amber ale.
Character: Slightly nutty and fruitier than the Chico strain; drops bright.
An American strain that is fruitier and a touch nuttier than the neutral Chico strain, and it flocculates high so it drops bright fast. It is the choice when you want a clean American beer with a little more yeast character and better clarity than 1056. Hold it cool to keep the fruit in check.
