Now available in PurePitch Packaging! White Labs' English Ale yeast strain comes from a large independent brewery in England, and is a perfect choice for making brilliantly clear English and British style beers of all kinds. It is widely used in the production of English bitters, but does well in almost any English or British style beer, from including porters, milds, browns and stouts. It creates a woody, earthy English flavor and aroma profile, while leaving a bit of residual sweetness that influences perception of malt character. A very good choice as a house strain, it is commonly used as such, even in breweries where one wouldn't expect an English strain to be featured as a house yeast. Try this yeast next time you are brewing up something English.
