NovaLager- Hybrid Lager Yeast

LalBrew NovaLager is a true bottom fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III lineage that has been selected to produce clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLager is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations and high attenuation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range. Through expression of a B-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew NovaLager can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. LalBrew NovaLager was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel saccharomyces cerevisiae x saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davi (USA) to ensure that the strain will not produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
