LalBrew NovaLager™ is a true bottom-fermenting Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid from the new Group III line that has been selected to produce pure lagers with distinct flavor characteristics and superior fermentation performance.

LalBrew NovaLager™ is a robust lager strain with ideal characteristics for lager beer production including fast fermentations, high attenuation. The distinctive flavor profile is very clean, light esters over a wide temperature range. This product is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in collaboration with Lallemand Brewing. LalBrew NovaLager™ was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a new hybrid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus that defines a new Group III (Renaissance) lager line that differs from all other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and uses University of California Davis (USA) patented technology that inhibits the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) off-flavors, reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production.
