Omega Yeast - OYL-026 - French Saison

French Saison brings the classic dry, spicy saison profile but stays a touch more predictable than some of the wilder farmhouse strains. Peppery and rustic when you want it, with fruity esters that lean tropical at warmer temperatures.

Best For Traditional saisons, farmhouse ales, and any beer where you want that signature dry, spicy, slightly rustic character.

Flavor Behavior Classic saison esters and phenols — spicy, peppery, with fruity notes that get more tropical and citrusy when fermented warmer.

In Practice Reliable liquid culture for saisons and farmhouse styles. Usually attenuates nicely to a dry finish and develops good character across a wide temperature range. The rustic edge shows up more when you push it toward the higher end.
