LalBrew Wit Belgian Wit Style Ale Yeast – 11 g Dry Beer Yeast
Brand: Lallemand
Why Brewers Love It
LalBrew Wit is a versatile Belgian-style wheat beer yeast that delivers a clean, refreshing profile with baseline banana and light clove. It is relatively neutral compared to classic hefeweizen strains, leaving room for spice additions like coriander and orange peel to shine while finishing crisp and highly drinkable.
Flavor and Aroma Profile
Fruity with banana and soft apple tones supported by light clove and pepper. Low phenolics compared to hefe strains, allowing grain and spice character to take center stage. Balanced ester profile suits both traditional witbier and modern wheat variants.
Best Uses
- Belgian Witbier – classic wheat-and-spice expression with a bright finish.
- American Wheat and Pale Wheat – clean wheat character with gentle fruit.
- Gose – restrained esters complement salt and coriander.
- Berliner Weisse – neutral base for kettle-soured wheat beers.
- Fruit Wheat Ales – leaves space for fruit additions to stand out.
