Developing a session NEIPA recipe about 3.5% ABV. Not used to brewing such a low alcohol beer so my key concern is keeping it from tasting watered down.

Gonna try and build up the body with some oats, and a bit of crystal malt to add "maltiness". High Mash temp as well. Keeping the IBUs down and plenty of dry hops.

The one thing I'm unsure about is what yeast to use. I've heard that using overly clean yeast can result in a thin, bland beer.
Some sites suggest underpitching to deliberately add subtle off flavours for better more complexity. I'd rather use a good flavourful yeast.

Was wondering what people's here's thoughts were on what yeast would be suited?
 
I got nuthin for yeast recommendations. However, your recipe sounds interesting. Please keep us posted. I love session beers and am always looking for more recipes.
 
I’ve done a 3.2% NEIPA and used 1318 for it. Turned out great! I wouldn’t hesitate to use that, 1272 or S04 for what you’re chasing.
