    Danstar Windsor

    Windsor ale yeast is a true English strain that produces a beer which is estery to both palate and nose with a slight fresh yeasty flavor. Beers created with Windsor are usually described as full-bodied, fruity English ales. Brewers choose Windsor to produce beers that range from pale ale to porter with moderate alcohol levels and the flavor & aroma characteristics of the best traditional ales. Depending on the composition of the recipe, Windsor demonstrates moderate attenuation which will leave a relatively high gravity (density). Recommended fermentation temperature range for Windsor is 17° to 21°C (64° to 70°F).

Rich, caramely and hoppy

Really happy how this one turned out. The first one I sipped i thought it was phenolic. A couple of sips in, the hop flavour really took hold of my tongue. By the end of the glass I was begging for more. Hoppy, but a good smooth "warm by the fire" hoppy. Awaiting bathurst Homebrew comp results...
