Produces a malty, bready, nutty character with a pleasant honey like finish. This yeast emphasizes malt nuances and is very forgiving in warmer fermentation conditions.

Nice relaxing buzz

The blue lotus petals impart an odd flavor to the beer. I am adding 2 lbs of organic rasberries to the 2ndary to balance out the taste.
Not bad at all
