LalBrew Pomona Modern IPA Hybrid Yeast - Lallemand

Named after the Roman goddess of fruit trees and orchards, Pomona delivers exactly what the name promises: a lush, fruit-forward fermentation experience designed for the most exciting IPA styles being brewed today.

Perfect for these beer styles: New England IPA, Hazy IPA, Oat Cream IPA, Double NEIPA, Triple NEIPA, Hazy Pale Ale, Milkshake IPA, Hazy Amber Ale, Brut IPA.

Developed by Escarpment Laboratories through advanced yeast breeding and adaptive laboratory evolution in high-ABV heavily hopped IPA fermentations, Pomona is a true specialist. It was trained to thrive in the most demanding hop-forward environments, which means it handles big dry-hop charges without stalling and maintains healthy fermentation even under hop stress.

The aroma profile is unmistakably peachy and juicy with strong tropical fruit and citrus character. Pomona excels at biotransformation — converting hop compounds into additional aroma molecules during active fermentation — and creates a stable soft haze that does not crash out even after weeks in the keg. Medium flocculation supports the natural hazy appearance so desired in modern IPAs.

If Verdant IPA is the classic NEIPA yeast, Pomona is its more modern and intensely fruity counterpart. For brewers chasing maximum juice and fruit complexity in hop-forward styles, this is your strain.
