Lallemand LalBrew® Pomona™ Hybrid IPA Yeast
Origin: AUT
Supplier:
Lallemand
Description
LalBrew Pomona™ is a modern hybrid IPA yeast and the newest addition to Lallemand brewing's range of fantastic LalBrew Premium Yeasts.
LalBrew Pomona™ has been specially selected to offer excellent flavour and fermentation performance in hoppy and hazy IPA and Pale Ale beers. Named after Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees, LalBrew Pomona offers wonderful juicy flavour profiles of peach, citrus and tropical fruits.
After development by Escarpment Laboratories in Canada through a process called adaptive lab evolution, LalBrew Pomona™ went on to receive rave reviews during commercial trials. The result is a fruity, stress-tolerant and robust yeast strain which has been specifically adapted to the unique fermentation conditions of IPAs, enhancing biotransformation and haze in modern IPA beers.
Highlights of LalBrew Pomona™:
High Biotransformation potential
Ideal flavour profile for hoppy beers with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruit
Selected for fermentation in high-gravity and highly hopped wort
Haze-positive for stable haze
Robust and repitchable
Brewers on LalBrew Pomona™:
"Quick performing yeast with decent potential for brewing hazy IPAs. We find it's suitable for lower ABV beers where lesser attenuation is desirable for retaining body."
Pühaste Brewery
“One of the most exciting yeasts I had the opportunity to try. It delivers such a nice tropical juicy character that complements perfectly with heavy dryhop additions like we do at Basqueland Brewing. It’s a fast fermenting yeast that works well for all our hazy beers.”
Oscar Saenz, Head of Brewing Operations, Basqueland Brewing.
"As Senior brewer at Åben I have been able to experiment with the new trial of LalBrew Pomona™ yeast from Lallemand. We have found that it gives repeatable and highly predictable results whilst thriving in our hazy IPAs and giving extra depth to our kettle sours. It consistently provides a heightened ester profile of bright citrus, stone fruit and elevates our hop profiles to be direct and punchy whilst maintaining a very stable and glowing haze."
