Description
This is a classic ESB strain from one of England’s largest independent
breweries. While it is traditionally used for English-style ales including milds,
bitters, porters, and stouts, it is also ideal for American-style pale ales and
IPAs. Residual sweetness accentuates malt character along with mild
fruity esters, adding complexity to the flavor and aroma of finished beers.
Slight diacetyl production is common. Due to this strain’s high flocculation,
the beer will finish clear and the yeast can easily be harvested from the
fermenter for future use. It is common for this yeast to look coagulated.
