The ATF TropiLager has a pleasant tropical pineapple aroma with notes of citrus along with a clean crisp malt aroma. The flavour is clean and crisp with a mild, slightly sweet, tropical fruit character leading to a smooth bitterness and drying finish. A very nice summer beer.
Yeast is not included in the kit. If fermenting cold we recommend using Froth Krisp (Assumed Origin: Weinhenstephan), Fermentis SafLager W-34/70, or Lallemand Diamond Lager Yeast.
If fermenting warm we recommend using Fermentis SafLager W-34/70 or Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast.
Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager Yeast
Mangrove Jack's Californian Lager yeast is a unique lager strain that has the ability to ferment at ale temperatures and still provide a typical lager flavour profile.
Fermentis SafLager W-34/70
Sensory testing performed by Fermentis on W-34/70 shows that it is a very robust yeast capable of providing a clean neutral flavour profile across a wide range of fermentation temperatures (12℃ - 20℃). Click here to download the Fermentis iPhone app for more information.
