Description
LalBrew Pomona™ is a hybrid yeast that was selected for flavour and fermentation performance in hoppy beers.
Named after the goddess of fruit trees, LalBrew Pomona™ produces a unique and juicy flavour profile with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. This strain was developed by our partner Escarpment Laboratories (Canada) using advanced yeast breeding and adaptive laboratory evolution in high ABV and highly hopped IPA fermentations. The result is a fruity, stress-tolerant, and robust strain that enhances biotransformation and haze for modern IPA styles.

Hybrid
Yeast Hybridization science
They used yeast breeding to cross a highly aromatic strain with a super robust and reliable strain. Then they used a process called adaptive lab evolution to adapt it to the unique fermentation conditions of IPAs, enhancing biotransformation and haze. The result is an excellent new yeast strain for modern hop-forward beers.

BREWING PROPERTIES
In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions 12°P Wort at 20°C (68°F), LalBrew PomonaTM yeast exhibits:
Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 4-5 days. Medium to high attenuation and medium flocculation Aromas of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits
This strain is POF negative
Optimal temperature range of 18-22°C (64 – 72°F)
Lag phase, total fermentation time, attenuation and flavour are dependent on pitch rate, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.
