CellarScience NE Hazy Ale Yeast

NE HAZY is a specialized ale yeast for New England-style hazy beers. This low-flocculating, biotransformative strain enhances mouthfeel and turbidity through its interaction with glycoproteins and hop compounds, making it ideal for NEIPAs, Hazy IPAs, Pale Ales, and Juicy Doubles. 

Flavor Profile

Juicy and tropical with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. Actively participates in biotransformation, modifying hop-derived polyphenols to intensify tropical and citrus character. Enhances free thiols for notes of grapefruit, passionfruit, guava, pineapple, peach, apricot, tangerine, and lime.

Biotransformation & Thiol Release

NE HAZY is both a biotransforming and thiol-releasing yeast. It transforms hop precursors into free thiols, amplifying tropical and citrus hop aromas, and forms stable protein-polyphenol complexes that lock haze into suspension for exceptional haze stability and hop saturation.
