This unpredictable strain is known for its slow start, often requiring a temperature increase to fully ferment. Once active, it delivers a vibrant array of citrus, pepper, and fruit notes, resulting in a dry, effervescent beer. YF-208 is particularly suited for warm-weather ales, producing refreshing and lively brews. Its challenging fermentation behavior is rewarded with a complex, multi-layered flavor profile that stands out in summer-style beers. Despite its quirks, it provides unique aromatic depth that inspires creativity.
