White Labs WLP566 Belgian Saison II Ale yeast

This strain is a moderate phenol producer with clove-like flavour and aromatic notes present in the finished beer. Some fruit-forward ester production provides a balance between fruit and spice aroma and flavours. This strain ferments and flocculates well, making it an easy-to-use option for saison and farmhouse ales.  This strain has a more fruity ester production than White Labs WLP565 and also ferments faster.
