LalBrew Aurora - Northern IPA Yeast - 500g

LalBrew Aurora Northern IPA Yeast 500g

LalBrew Aurora is the first yeast in Lallemand's Limited Release Series, representing a new direction in hop-driven beers. Originating from Lallemand's extensive yeast bank, this strain was selected for its powerful fermentation performance and clean, fruity aroma.

Aurora is developed with inspiration from the northern lights – and as the name suggests, it thrives at lower fermentation temperatures. The result is a beer with a floral and fruity character, and an exceptionally clean and crisp finish. The yeast is particularly well-suited for beer styles such as Northern IPA, Cold IPA, Session IPA, and Double IPA, where a distinct hop aroma combined with high drinkability is desired.

Aurora combines the best of both West Coast and East Coast IPA traditions – the cleanliness and bitterness from the west, and the fruitiness and body from the east – opening the door for new creativity in the IPA world.
