LalBrew Wit yeast is a relatively neutral strain that can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. Ester and phenol production are lower for traditional hefeweizen strains such as LalBrew Munich Classic.
LalBrew Wit provides a baseline profile of banana and spice aromas but leaves space for the brewer to showcase other spice additions typical of Belgian-style beers. Traditional styles brewed with this yeast include but are not limited to Belgian Witbier, American Wheat, Berliner Weiss, Gose, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweis, and Weizenbock.
