Description

CML's answer to brewing without a chiller: a thermotolerant ale strain that holds a clean, restrained-ester profile at 31–35 °C, where most ale yeast turns solventy. It attenuates fully and drops hard, so pale ales, IPAs and stouts fermented through a warm spell still taste as though they were kept cold.
