The four of them all brewed some different beers to see just how this amazing yeast strain performed – it’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to craft juicy tropical brews with a vibrant pineapple flavour and aroma. Suitable for not only New England IPAs and Pale Ales but also West Coast style IPAs and Pales.
