Clean Lager Flavor. Fast Ale-Like Fermentation. Zero Sulfur Off-Flavors.
Engineered to combine the clean finish of a lager with the speed and performance of an ale yeast.
A novel Saccharomyces pastorianus strain from Group III lineage, NovaLager™ ferments bottom-up and excels in both cool and warm conditions (10–20°C). Thanks to patented UC Davis technology, it suppresses hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), allowing for reduced lagering time without compromising flavor. With medium flocculation and high attenuation (up to 84%), it's ideal for styles from Pilsners to Bocks to California Commons.
