Crisp and very clean, this American yeast strain has little fruitiness and some mild ester production. Extremely versatile for a wide range of styles that desire dominant malt and hop characteristics. Makes for an exceptional "house" strain. With cooler fermentation temperatures, it will develop slight citrus notes at 60-66°F (15-19°C).
This is the famous Sierra Nevada Chico yeast strain found in beers across America. It produces well balanced beers with low diacetyl and a very clean, crisp end palate. Also sold as White Labs WLP001 California Ale and Fermentis SafAle US-05. For a comparison of these strains see our US-05 vs WY1056/WLP001 tests.
