American Ale II 1272

The Wyeast 1272 American Ale II yeast strain has a performance is consistent and it makes great beer. It has many of the best qualities that brewers look for when brewing American styles of beer. This versatile strain is a very good choice for a "House" strain. Expect a soft, clean profile with hints of nut, and a slightly tart finish. Ferment at warmer temperatures to accentuate hop character with an increased fruitiness. Or, ferment cool for a clean, light citrus character. It attenuates well and is reliably flocculent, producing bright beer without filtration.
