A classic hefeweizen strain from Germany, this yeast produces classic German style hefeweizens! With notes of banana and clove, this yeast produces flavorful hefeweizens time and time again. This strain is noted to lean more toward banana esters than clove phenolics, but this can be manipulated through fermentation temperatures. By lowering fermentation temperature, the banana ester character will be more subdued, allowing the clove phenolics to be more prevalent. Low flocculation means a cloudiness that is characteristic of traditional hefeweizens. This strain has been lauded as one of the best hefeweizen strains out there. Give it a try and see for yourself!
