White Labs PurePitch - WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast

White Labs PurePitch WLP008 East Coast Ale Yeast: This strain can be used to reproduce many American versions of classic beer styles but has been gaining popularity for its use in East Coast IPAs. It is cleaner and crisper than other haze producing strains. It possesses a similar neutral character of WLP001 California Ale Yeast with slightly higher ester production.
