Lallemand Novalager

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the new generation of Group III selected for the production of clean lager beers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance. LalBrew NovaLager™ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production, including fast fermentations and high attenuation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, light esters over a wide temperature range. LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a new hybrid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus that defines a new lineage of Group III lager that is different from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and uses patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) that inhibits off-flavor hydrogen sulfide (H2S) production, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
