White Labs WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast for Dry, Fruity Belgian Strong Ales
White Labs WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast is a liquid Belgian strain for brewers who want strong attenuation, a dry finish, and the classic combination of fruitiness and phenolic character that defines many Belgian golden and tripel-style beers. It is a practical fit for both moderate- and higher-gravity Belgian ales where expressive yeast character is part of the point.
White Labs describes WLP570 as a strain from East Flanders that can produce low- to high-gravity Belgian beers up to 12% ABV. It is known for a fermentation profile where fruitiness and phenolic character both play a major role, and current live product data lists 75% to 80% attenuation, low flocculation, and a recommended fermentation range of 70 to 85°F. White Labs also lists this strain as STA1 positive.

Why Brewers Choose WLP570
WLP570 is especially useful when a brewer wants Belgian fruit character and dryness without losing the spice and structure that make these beers feel complete. It can help strong pale Belgian ales finish with a lighter impression than their gravity suggests.
For brewers building tripels, strong blondes, and golden strong ales, WLP570 remains one of the more practical liquid strains for that style family.
Liquid Yeast Storage and Shipping
We store liquid yeast in temperature-monitored refrigeration to help preserve yeast health before shipment. Once the package is moving through the carrier network, outside temperatures and handling are no longer under our control, so liquid yeast customers should choose shipping protection according to route, weather, and transit risk.
Expedited shipping, insulated mailers, and ice packs are recommended for liquid yeast, especially during warm weather or for longer transit times. Dry yeast is generally less risky to ship than liquid yeast.
