In Focus: Cream Ale Blend
WLP080 Cream Ale Yeast Blend
This is a blend of ale and lager yeast strains. The strains
work together to create a clean, crisp, light American lager style
ale. A pleasing estery aroma may be perceived from the ale
yeast contribution. Hop flavors and bitterness are slightly
subdued. Slight sulfur will be produced during fermentation, from
the lager yeast.

" ... the hit of the party"

Comments: I've been using this yeast since early 2009 &
have been VERY happy with it. I have a summer party every year &
typically brew ~six different styles. For two years in a row the
Cream Ale has been the hit of the party! I brewed "two
kegs" this year & once again these were the first to go. My
drinking friends & I know a winner when we drink it!
" ... this is THE yeast"

Beers brewed: Cream Ale
Comments: I love this yeast. Fermented cream ale at 65
degrees then cold storage for a few weeks at 38 degrees. If you want
a lager-like beer but can only work at ale temps, this is THE yeast.

Beers brewed: Belgian Wit
Comments: I used this yeast to brew a Belgian on the
recommendation of my local homebrew supply owner. It took 11 days to
complete fermentation but it may be because of the honey used in the
brew. It produced sulphur that did not dissipate over a week of
aging, but aside from that the beer is
marvelous.

Comments: I first tried this yeast to see how what the
results would be in making a cream ale. I've fallen in love!! The
yeast produces a light clean tasting ale that’s refreshingly tasty.
I’ve now made this part of my yeast inventory.
