In my opinion this is the best yeast to use for any British style beer. It may not be as popular as the other strains or as high attenuating but it gives the most unique taste to your beer that you will find. I've used it for Bitters and Stouts and wouldn't turn to any other yeast if I was looking for a strictly British beer.

I love Yorkshire ales. Cask Ales to be precise. And this product meets the mark in every aspect of what that means.

I used this in conjunction with a MoreBeer Best Bitter kit. Wow! What a great yeast. Layers of complexity which could have only come from the yeast given the simple recipe. Can't wait to make an English Brown Ale or Robust Porter with it. The description is spot on. The finished beer was malty yet dry. I preferred this to Dry English Ale from White Labs.

Very good British yeast - used in an English IPA efficiency was short would have liked to see this yeast chew on something 6%+. Definitely did it’s job flavor great and flocculent. One of few brews you can pour out the bottle and the yeast cake stays tight at the bottom.

Creates a well-balanced British ale with a crisp finish to balance the malt. Create an ale like those served in pubs throughout the Yorkshire Dales.

Best yeast for best bitter

I use this yeast for most of my English ales.

More than half the beer I make is strong bitter. I've experimented with many English strains over the years and I've landed on this one. Just about the best British bitter strain out there. In my state's largest and longest running beer comp I have taken 1st in the bitter category three years running using this yeast. As the previous review mentions the krausen never seems to fall. I've learned to accept that with this strain and begin cold crash when it is at FG. The krausen does fall during cold crash. Provides decent clarity without filtration or gelatin but I typically use gelatin to get exceptional clarity.

I love this stuff. I've brewed many gallons of standard bitter with it and it produces just enough malty interest to compliment the hops without being in your face. Can be a little temperamental but not overly so as long as pitching rates and temperature control are adequate. Krausen never seems to fall with this strain but I just monitor attenuation and rack out from under when things have finished up.
