Novalager

Modern Hybrid Lager Yeast

Overview

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the novel Group III (Renaissance) lineage that has been selected to produce 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, high attenuation and high flocculation.

The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range. Through expression of a  ß-glucosidaseenzyme, LalBrew NovaLager™ can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma.

This product is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (VancouverBC, Canada) in partnership with Lallemand Brewing. LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III (Renaissance) lager lineage that is distinct from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) to ensure that the strain will not produce hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off - flavors, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
