LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage, which was selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance.

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production, including fast fermentations and high attenuation. The distinct flavor profile isvery clean, with slight esters over a wide temperature range.

LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novelSaccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, reducing the maturation time associated with lager.
