From tropical fruit notes to spicy phenolics and clean, neutral finishes, yeast strains are the cornerstone of beer's character. To help brewers navigate the complexity of yeast options, we’ve created two indispensable resources: a Yeast Flavour Map and a Yeast Flavour Profile Table.
The Yeast Map offers a visual representation of yeast flavour dimensions, categorizing strains across three primary flavour spectrums: Fruity, Spicy, and Neutral. By placing each yeast strain along these axes, the map helps brewers quickly identify which strains best suit the desired sensory outcome of their beer. Whether you're crafting a vibrant New England IPA, a robust Belgian Dubbel, or a crisp Kölsch, the map provides a clear guide to selecting the right yeast for your brewing goals.

Complementing the map is the Yeast Flavour Profile Table, which delves into the detailed characteristics of each strain. It highlights the dominant flavour profiles, categorizes yeasts into overlapping flavour groups, and provides recommendations for the beer styles each strain excels in. This table ensures that brewers not only choose a yeast-based on its flavour traits but also its suitability for specific beer styles.
