Omega Yeast - OYL-012 - Pacific NW Ale

Pacific NW Ale brings a bit of British heritage to the American West Coast. It stays mostly clean and reliable but adds a touch more malt depth and light fruit character than your standard neutral American strain.

Best For American Pale Ales, IPAs, and hop-forward beers where you want clean fermentation with a bit more malt and fruit depth.
