High flocculation also means lower conditioning time reducing energy requirements whilst increasing vessel capacity. Beer Styles This versatile bottom-fermenting strain excels in various European Lager styles, including German and Bohemian Pilsner, American Pilsner, Maibock, Doppelbock, Oktoberfest, and Marzen. Superior Fermentation Performance Plzen is known for its efficient diacetyl reduction, improving tank efficiency and reducing the chance of elevated undesirable diacetyl levels. Flavour Profile The beers made using Plzen yeast have a pure flavour profile with a fine, complex, subtle, fruity aroma and mild palate – yielding a beer with a very clean and crisp aroma, true to lager/pilsner style beers.
