    Danstar Windsor

    Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).

Enjoy it year-round.

I brew this beer year-round and have it on tap for friends and family who don't care for a "heavy beer". While it's light and refreshing (your typical lawnmower beer), it's a great tasting beer. Here's how it got its name... I first brewed this beer about six years ago. Living in the country, I enjoy spending summer evenings outdoors. One evening, I was watching the moon come up and drinking this cream ale. Over on the next ridge, I could hear coyotes howling. The "call of the wild".
