Recommended for American pale ale, amber, porter, malty ale.
Character: Very clean, low-ester American character with a slight malt richness.
Denny Conn's house strain, very clean and low in ester with a slight malty richness that fills out a beer more than a bare Chico strain. Low to medium flocculation means it clears slowly. A favourite for malty American and English-leaning ales.
