True top cropping yeast similar to Alt strains. Produces slightly more fruity/winey characteristics.
Fruitiness increases with temperature increase. Low or no detectable diacetyl production.
Also ferments well at cold 55° - 60° F range (13-16° C). Used to produce quick-conditioning pseudo-lager beers.
Requires filtration or additional settling time to produce bright beers.

Origin:
Flocculation: low
Attenuation: 73-77%
Temperature Range: 56-70° F (13-21° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 10% ABV
