A historical yeast for German-style wheat beers

A specialty yeast selected for the production of aromatic beers with typical phenolic character (clove and peppery notes) and rich in fruity and floral flavours. Suitable for a great variety of wheat-base beers and fruity-spicy oriented styles. Yeast with a medium sedimentation: forms no clumps but a powdery haze when re suspended in the beer.

Produces a beautifully aromatic and complex flavour profile, defined by a prominent ester character of ripe banana and tutti-frutti notes, balanced by phenolic spice of clove and pepper. These signature flavours are complemented by subtle floral and bubblegum hints, creating the quintessential taste expected in styles like Hefeweizen, Dunkelweizen, and Weizenbock. The result is a richly flavoured, yet well-balanced beer with a silky texture and a creamy mouthfeel.

Ingredients:Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae POF+), Emulsifier: sorbitan monostearate (E/INS 491)
