Great Product
Consistent 75-76% attenuation. Leaves good body/mouthfeel w/ a beautiful but subtle dark fruit/floral aroma/flavor. Never any diacetyl in finished product but this dude does produce some major sulfur during fermentation. Aways, IME, cleans itself up though in 3+ weeks total ferment time. I LOVE this yeast.

Nice versatile yeast
Ferment at ale temps results in a fruity, but not overwhelming beer. Nice neutral flavor at lager temps.

First experience
First time with this strain. Starter was a little slow to take off and once pitched it was a little slow getting started in the fermenter. Once it got started, it moved right along, going from 1.072 all the way down to 1.010 in 5 days. It definitely lets the malt come through.

Great Yeast
I don't always brew lagers but when I do, I use Wyeast Bohemian 2124 yeast. I've made a great Oktoberfest and Bohemian Pilsner with this yeast.
