Wyeast 2000 Budvar Lager Yeast – Seasonal Limited Release Wyeast

Wyeast 2000 Budvar is a very malty, low sulfur-producing yeast from a brewery in the Czech Republic. Allows the brewer to leave residual sweetness in the beer. Flocculates at a warmer temperature than many lager yeasts, which allows the brewer to more easily leave residual sweetness in the beer. The Budvar style strain has a nice malty nose with subtle fruit tones and a rich malt profile on the palate. It finishes malty but dry, well balanced, and crisp. Hop character comes through in the finish.
