Notes
Our Unleash the Yeast series was an epic experiment into the differences in aroma and flavour provided by switching up your yeast. We brewed up a wort with a light caramel note and some toasty biscuit flavour, and hopped it with Amarillo and Centennial for a citrusy bitterness. Everything else is down to the yeast. American Ale used a clean fermenting strain which provides some faint fruity notes.
Tagline: Unleash the Yeast Series.
First brewed: 09/2013
Food pairing: Fried brie bites; American cheese burger; Poached apple tart
Brewer's tips: Play around with the fermentation temperature to get the best flavour profile from the individual yeasts.
