Purportedly from the Budweiser brewery, it can be used on all types of American lagers:light, premium, American-style, specialty, pre-prohibition, amber lager and dark lager, as well as Vienna-style lager. It is a low producer of sulfur and diacetyl, which means it will come out clean with less fuss than other lager strains.

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!
