LalBrew Pomona™ Modern Hybrid IPA Yeast

Current stock best by 07/2026. Brew hazy, juicy, and intensely aromatic IPAs with LalBrew Pomona™ Modern Hybrid IPA Yeast, a versatile dry ale strain designed for modern hop-forward styles. This yeast enhances tropical and stone fruit character, producing bright notes of peach, citrus, and pineapple while supporting the soft mouthfeel and stable haze associated with New England–style beers. It offers high attenuation for a clean finish that lets hop flavor shine.

Pomona™ is engineered to perform well across a broad range of hop-forward beer styles, from hazy IPAs and pale ales to experimental fruit-forward ales. Its medium flocculation helps maintain haze stability, while its fermentation profile promotes expressive ester development without overwhelming hop aromatics. The strain ferments efficiently between 64 and 72°F with an alcohol tolerance of up to 14 percent, allowing for reliable performance in both lower- and higher-gravity recipes.

Each 11-gram packet is sized for a standard 5-gallon batch, offering a straightforward dry-pitch option for homebrewers who want consistent results without a starter. The yeast works particularly well in heavily dry-hopped beers, supporting biotransformation and enhancing tropical fruit character during active fermentation. It is available as a single packet or in a 3-pack for brewers who maintain a steady rotation of hop-forward batches.

With a fermentation profile designed for clarity of flavor and stable haze, LalBrew Pomona™ provides a dependable foundation for crafting modern IPAs that emphasize fruitiness, softness, and aromatic intensity. It gives homebrewers a clean, predictable fermentation while allowing hops to take the lead in the finished beer.
