About
A New Zealand craft ale yeast from Froth Tech, a small Wellington-region yeast lab. It is positioned as an aroma-forward strain with thiol-releasing activity, biotransforming thiol precursors in modern hops into bright tropical and passionfruit notes, so it pairs especially well with high-precursor NZ varieties. Published data is limited, as Froth Tech is a small local supplier, so the personal stats below (from real batches) are the most reliable guide to how it behaves.
