From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.

Turned out to be a pretty decent beer. Inexpensive, simple, and refreshing. Will definitely brew this again, but with more hops overall- probably an extra 1/2 to 3/4 oz.
