Description
The fast, crisp one: a killer-positive cider yeast with intense fresh apple and floral aroma, high total acidity, high ethyl ester production and almost no malic acid consumed, so the juice keeps its bite. Rated for dry cider, and since Fermentis publishes no attenuation figure the band here is what a cider taken to dryness implies.
