Omega Yeast - OYL-006 - British Ale I

British Ale I keeps it classic but knows how to loosen up. Usually clean and crisp for traditional bitters and ESBs, but it can throw some nice esters and a lightly tart finish if you let it warm up a touch.

Best For English Bitters, ESBs, Milds, Porters, and sessionable British ales.

Flavor Behavior Clean and crisp at lower temperatures with heightened esters and a lightly tart, dry finish when fermented warmer. Drops fast and clear.

In Practice Versatile liquid culture for traditional English styles. Usually behaves itself and clears well, but gives you room to play with ester character by bumping the temperature a few degrees.
