Usage: Amber and dark beers, Scottish type and red coloured beers like Scottish ales, amber ales, red ales, and Irish ales. Characteristics: Very aromatic with intense malty flavour.

Omega Yeast Labs OYL-004 West Coast Ale I
Omega Yeast Labs OYL-004 West Coast Ale I
Popularly the “Chico,” this neutral, highly attenuating, moderately flocculating chart topper is a great house for its reliability, versatility — and lauded place in American craft beer history. It ferments cool, crisp and clean at the low range, with light citrus under 66° F. Great for displays of malts and hops. Also try DIPA Ale (OYL-052) and British Ale I (OYL-006) for hops, or West Coast Ale II (OYL-009) and Scottish Ale (OYL-015) for malts.
