From a small brewpub in Cologne, Germany, this yeast works great in Kölsch and Alt style beers. Good for light beers like blond and honey. Accentuates hop flavors, similar to WLP001. The slight sulfur produced during fermentation will disappear with age a

Very nice, easy drinking Kolsch. Excellent Pils, noble hop & slight fruitiness reminiscent of pear and/or apple flavor. Not as attenuated as I would have like it to be, but the hop bitterness balances it out and it still retained some crispness. Overall, very good for my first Kolsch recipe. Will definitely brew this one again.
