LalBrew Pomona™ is a hybrid yeast that was selected for flavor and fermentation performance in hoppy beers. Named after the goddess of fruit trees, LalBrew Pomona™ produces a unique and juicy flavor profile with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. This strain was developed by Lallemand's partner Escarpment Laboratories using advanced yeast breeding and adaptive laboratory evolution in high ABV and highly hopped IPA fermentations. Escarpment Laboratories is an innovative Canadian yeast company and industry leader in solution-based yeast development and hybridization. The result of this research and selection is a fruity, stress-tolerant, and robust strain that enhances biotransformation and haze for modern IPA styles.
