Mangrove Jack’s M47 Belgian Abbey Yeast – 10 g
Brand: Mangrove Jack’s
Why Brewers Love It
M47 is a classic Belgian abbey strain selected for exceptionally fruity esters and a clean, well-balanced profile. It produces complex stone fruit and subtle spice with fewer phenols than many Belgian strains and drops clear thanks to high flocculation. Reliable performance makes it a favorite for traditional abbey styles and strong ales.
Flavor and Aroma
Rich fruity esters such as pear, apricot, and light banana with delicate clove and pepper. Malt remains present and the finish is smooth and rounded.
