A unique lager strain because it can ferment at a wide range of temperatures—50 to 65 (10–18)—while retaining lager-like characteristics. This strain is traditionally used to brew the California common or steam beer styles. At lower temperatures can also produce märzens, pilsners and Helles style lagers.
