  • Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™

    Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale™

    Highly flocculant top-fermenting strain with rich, malty character and balanced fruitiness. This strain is so flocculant that additional aeration and agitation is needed. An excellent strain for cask-conditioned ales.

Notes

Although not a true ESB, this is a great summer ale that is somewhere between a Petes Wicked and Sam Adams BL...not that I'm comparing this to those, but it puts you in the ball park. Much better than those and is one of our favorites.
