Pomona
Modern Hybrid IPA Yeast
Lallemand LalBrew
LalBrew Pomona™ is a hybrid yeast that was selected for flavour and fermentation performance in hoppy beers. LalBrew Pomona™ produces a unique and juicy flavour profile with notes of peach, citrus, and tropical fruits. This strain was developed by our partner Escarpment Laboratories. The result is a fruity, stress-tolerant, and robust strain that enhances biotransformation and haze for modern IPA styles.

Hybrid
Yeast Hybridization scienceThey used yeast breeding to cross a highly aromatic strain with a super robust and reliable strain. Then they used a process called adaptive lab evolution to adapt it to the unique fermentation conditions of IPAs, enhancing biotransformation and haze. The result is an excellent new yeast strain for modern hop-forward beers.
