White Labs bring home brewers this strain all the way from East Flanders, a wonderful yeast strain for the creation of the coveted Belgian golden strong ales. This yeast tends to be spicy and phenolic, with underlying orange and lemon esters. It is often used in making light colored Belgian strong ales. Clean and crisp, this yeast is known to take awhile to fully fermenta batch of beer and attenuate it out, but creates a wonderfully complex beer in the process. On the high end of fermentation temperatures, this yeast can produce some banana esters. With the right treatment and a little patience, however, this strain will yield a Belgian golden strong that is unparalleled!
Product Features
- A great strain for use in the production of unparalleled Belgian strong ales.
- Produces both spicy phenolics and citrusy ester compounds, leaving the beer complex and crisp.
- A great yeast strain for Belgian golden strong ales, but can also be used for Belgian dark strong ales, Belgian blondes, Belgian wits, singles, dubbels, tripels, Belgian table biers, and Biere de Gardes.
ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
