It produces clean, crisp, authentic lager beer across an unusually wide temperature range, including warm ale-territory fermentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt exists to remove the two classic lager headaches: temperature control and sulfur cleanup. With 78 to 84% attenuation and medium flocculation, NovaLager finishes dry and refreshing, and it uses patented UC Davis technology that inhibits hydrogen sulfide production, so the long conditioning normally needed to clean up a lager largely goes away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor \u0026amp; Aroma Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, crisp, true lager character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo hydrogen sulfide, so no rotten-egg phase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow diacetyl, even without an extended rest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow to medium esters across the temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefreshing dry finish that suits classic and hoppy lagers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermented cold it behaves like a traditional lager strain with faster conditioning.
