It creates low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas, and is considered neutral as an ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malts and hops to develop. 

Recommended Fermentation Temperature: 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with a good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer.
