Omega I Gulo® ALE I OYL-501

Gulo Ale is the latest creation to emerge from the curious minds of Omega’s R&D team. The progeny of Omega's Irish Ale and French Saison strains, this true genetic hybrid is a beast at devouring sugars, which creates a very dry beer without any of the peppery, clove phenolics associated with saisons and Belgian ales. Expect a citrus-forward aroma with hints of peach and a clean finish. Gulo Ale excels in any style where a high level of attenuation is desired without phenolics. We love using it in an IPA (including a brut IPA), stout, or Bière de Garde. Non-phenolic. Patent Pending.

• Attenuation: 85-90%

• Flocculation: Medium

• Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV

• Optimum Fermentation Temp: 68-77°F

• Cell Count: 200 Billion

This strain tests positive for the STA1 gene, an indicator of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus, and is capable of fermenting dextrins, resulting in very high attenuation.
