WLP080The perfect yeast for cream ales, kolsches, or any hybrid beer! This is a favorite yeast of many homebrewers. This blend combines an ale strain and a lager strain to bring the best of both worlds to the table. It produces a lager-like cleanliness in most beers, though a slight ester character may be contributed by the ale yeast. The result is a clean, crips beer where hop bitterness is subdued, and grain character is allowed to shine. Fermentation can produce some sulfur, but this dissipates with age. This strain is perfect for cream ales and kolsches, but also works well in many hybrid beers, or beers where a clean flavor profile is desired. Examples of other styles where this strain is successful would include California Common, wheat beers, pale ales, IPAS, ambers...the list goes on!
