Tropical IPA Yeast | Omega Yeast OYL-200

Infuse Your Brews with Tropical Fruit Aromas

Omega Yeast OYL-200 Tropical IPA is a unique Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain, formerly classified as Brettanomyces, renowned for imparting delicate, tart tropical fruit characteristics—specifically mango and pineapple—with a clean finish. Elevated fermentation temperatures, ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C), enhance these tropical notes, making it an excellent choice for hop-forward ales where a fruity ester profile is desired. Despite its low flocculation, the exceptional flavor contributions make it a worthwhile addition to your brewing repertoire.
