A04

Excellent yeast strain for any hop forward beers. Wonderfully suited for juicy, hazy New England IPAs.

Commonly referred to as the "conan" yeast strain, it's ready to attack your IPA. Barbarian produces stone fruit esters that work great when paired with citrus hops. Barbarian will give you what you need for an exceptionally balanced IPA, leaving a nice round and full-bodied mouthfeel.
