Description
A lager strain chosen for esters rather than against them: Fermentis rates its total ester production high, which is the opposite of what a Pilsner strain is usually picked for. Useful where a lager is meant to taste of fruit — modern pale lagers, fruited styles — and wrong where it is meant to taste of nothing.
