TROPICS™ London

TROPICS™ London delivers the pillowy mouthfeel and juicy character you've come to expect from the top-tier “London” ale strain, but with a serious upgrade: a burst of thiols that unleash vibrant, layered notes of grapefruit and passionfruit. TROPICS™ was the very first high-impact thiol-producing yeast available to brewers, and remains the industry leader. Tropical intensity can be adjusted with the thiol dial system (see below) to target clean tropical character more effectively than other thiol products.

Thiols


TROPICS™ London releases grapefruit and passionfruit character during fermentation, the kind of aroma you’d normally chase with a big dry hop. Heavier charges can bring out vegetal notes and astringency, lower yields, and reduce yeast viability, making hops hit their workable limit before tropical intensity is at its peak. TROPICS™ builds that intensity from the yeast side, so you reach the desired tropical character without too many hops muddling the profile.

And No Sulfur to Clean Up After

Some thiol strains leave sulfurous off-notes behind. TROPICS™ doesn’t. The enzyme that powers TROPICS™ was precisely tuned using protein-engineering so that it only targets the precursor of 3MH and 3MHA (the thiols that drive the tropical profiles that drinkers prefer). And you set the intensity: add TROPICS™ Boost to thiolmaxx™, or co-pitch with your house strain for nuance.
