Citrus-forward golden ale
Year-round favorite
Crisp, and the orange stays bright
This is a gentle, low bitterness beer, so where it finishes matters more than usual. US-05 lands dry and stays completely neutral, which lets the sweet orange peel come through as fresh fruit. Simple to run and hard to get wrong.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
Nothing but orange and Cascade
Flagship is about as close to invisible as a brewing yeast gets, which means the sweet orange peel and the Cascade are the entire flavor. It also finishes with a little more body than US-05, which suits a beer this gentle.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
Clean, and easy to keep happy
1056 stays clean across a wide temperature band, so an unheated room in most seasons will hold it. It finishes with a little more weight than US-05, which suits a golden ale carrying this little bitterness. It is a slow settler.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Clean and versatile
The Cascade gets louder
This strain brings hop flavor and aroma forward, which counts for a lot in a beer with this little bitterness. Ferment it warm for a drier, brighter finish, or cool to keep more body for the orange peel to sit on.
Ferment at 64-73°F
Attenuation 73-85%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and hop forward
Crisp and low ester
1007 throws very few esters, so the orange peel gets a clean canvas and the beer tastes crisp. It also matures quickly even when fermented cool, which shortens the wait. Powdery, so it takes longer to drop bright.
Ferment at 55-68°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low
Crisp, low ester, wide range

Flavor Profile & Beer Style
The O.G. Orange Golden Ale is a light, approachable golden ale with a clean malt backbone and expressive citrus character. Sweet Belgian orange peel adds bright aroma and zesty flavor without overwhelming the base beer.
Low hop presence allows the orange character to shine, creating a refreshing ale that’s flavorful, balanced, and easy drinking.

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your O.G. Orange Golden Ale follows a classic American ale brewing process:
Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops as directed
Ferment: Ferment with American ale yeast until clean and stable
Optional Step: Add sweet orange peel during the boil as instructed to infuse citrus flavor
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
This process allows the orange peel to shine while keeping the beer light, refreshing, and easy to drink.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
