US-05 is a popular American dry ale yeast from Fermentis, based on a well-known yeast strain that WLP001 and Wyeast 1056 also originate from. It produces neutral, well-balanced ales that are clean and crisp, and it stays well in suspension during fermentation. US-05 suits American beer styles and hop-forward beers.
