Here is the description that was handed out with the yeast.

What you have here...

...Is our DNA wild-type yeast! This yeast was captured at Fifer Orchards in Dover, Delaware. We explored Fifer in search of Delaware native yeast, armed with petri dishes of media and fruit fly perfume that smells of ripe bananas.

We trapped fruit filies, dove through piles of moldy fruit, and sampled fruit itself in search of our mystery yeast. This here yeast is our best tasting, most alcohol producing strain of all the organisms we encountered. It ferments slowly and has low attenuation ability, so a starter is definitely recommended.

As always...Happy Brewing!
