  • Wyeast 1882-PC Thames Valley Ale II

    Wyeast 1882-PC Thames Valley Ale II

    This strain was originally sourced from a now defunct brewery on the banks of the river Thames outside of Oxford, England. Thames Valley II produces crisp, dry beers with a rich malt profile and moderate stone fruit esters. This attenuative strain is also highly flocculent resulting in bright beers not requiring filtration. A thorough diacetyl rest is recommended after fermentation is complete.

Good drinking ale. Not a cream style.

Purpose of the beer was to have a lightly hopped summertime ale. Definately more malty than a cream and the flavors from the Thames II added some other flavors not characteristic of style. Still a good beer to drink in the heat of the summer.
