Wit

Belgian Wit-Style Ale Yeast

Lallemand LalBrew

A relatively neutral strain which can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. Ester & phenol production is lower than for traditional hefeweizen strains such as Munich Classic or Safale WB-06.

Wit provides a baseline profile of Banana & Spice aromas but leaves space for the brewer to showcase other spice additions typical of Belgian style beers.

Aroma & flavour are somewhat Fruity with notes of Banana & slight Clove. You can expect a vigorous fermentation that can be completed in just 4 days and the best part is that the beer is drinkable as soon as it is carbonated.
