White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale
This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.
