American Hefeweizen (WLP320)

White Labs · WLP320 · ale

American wheat strain with subtle fruit.

Description

American wheat strain producing a subtle ester profile — none of the big banana-clove of Bavarian hefe yeast. Use for American wheats and softly fruity blonde-wheat hybrids. Low flocculation maintains hefe-style cloudiness.
