A classic German wheat yeast, YF-402 is the cornerstone for authentic Hefeweizen beers. It produces strong, pleasant esters with prominent banana and clove aromas, which can be accentuated or softened depending on fermentation temperature. The yeast balances fruity and spicy notes beautifully, giving a rich, aromatic profile. Its reliable flocculation leaves a slightly hazy, traditional wheat beer appearance. YF-402 is ideal for brewers seeking a timeless Hefeweizen character, highlighting both malt sweetness and phenolic complexity.
