The unsung heroes, the foot soldiers of the revolution. We owe a huge debt to the billions of tiny yeast cells that work tirelessly to ferment sugars into alcohol and CO2. But yeast isn’t just here for the grunt work. Yeast has the power to change the flavour, aroma and complexion of your beer in an instant.
This series is designed to showcase the impact different yeasts have on the same base beer. This series of 4 beers gives the limelight to four totally different yeast strains: Belgian Trappist, Pilsen Lager, American Ale and Bavarian Weizen. All 4 beers have been brewed to the same ABV using a blend of Centennial and Amarillo hops and a backbone of Pale Ale, Munich and Cara Malts.
Malts: Maris Otter, Crystal Malt, Caramalt
Hops: Centennial, Amarillo

Bouteille 33cl, batch# 243, BB 11/10/2014. Orangée-ambrée, col crémeux blanc cassé. Arôme léger épicé, côté fermenté avec un ester restant assez discret et offrant un ajout banane minime. Houblonné assez noble. Palais offre une base maltée différente d’une weisse, pointe de banane assez discrète, léger en épice, possible coriandre? touche houblonnée nobles sur note agrumes. Dommage car la base n’offre pas spécialement cette influence allemande surtout dans l’emploi des malts, manque le malt de blé pour aller vers un crysta cara?

On tap at Christian Firtal. Hazy golden with a lasting white head. Hoppy aroma with citrus and pine and a touch of banana. Sweetish hoppy and malty flavour with faint hints of Bavarian Weissbier. Decent bitter finish

Keg at BD on da Bush, 01/07/14. Clear golden with a well appointed off white covering. Nose is pale malts, grain, light toffee, straw, faint banana. Taste picks up the pace a little more so than the aroma, caramel, wheaten bread, yeast esters, light vanilla, banana. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so hefe.

On tap at Brewdog Birmingham, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out wheat, some orange fruitiness, and clove. Flavour brings out lots of clove upfront, some banana and dry hoppiness as well. A more abrasive wheat beer - as can be expected for Brewdog. Good stuff.
