| WLP590 French Saison Ale || || 73-80 || Med || 69-75 || Unique yeast strain producing farmhouse-style beers with a phenolic “bite” and moderate ester compounds. Producing a cleaner aroma profile than other farmhouse styles, this yeast is versatile and highly attenuating. Seasonal Availability: May - Jun.
|-
| WLP644 Saccharomyces "Bruxellensis" Trois || || 85%+ || Low || 70-85 || Medium-High alcohol tolerance. This Belgian strain produces a slightly tart beer with delicate characteristics of mango and pineapple. Can also be used to produce effervescence when bottle-conditioning. Formally named Brettanomyces bruxellensis Trois, it was re-classified to be ''Saccharomyces'', and probably ''S. cerevisae'' <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1100249870003226/ Archive of MTF discussions regarding Trois genetic analysis results.]</ref>. White Labs classifies this as a "wild Saccharomyces" <ref>[http://www.whitelabs.com/sites/default/files/644_Explanation.pdf White Labs 644 Explanation. 04/09/2015. Retrieved 5/2/2015.]</ref>. Trois cannot ferment lactose <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1162272423800970/?comment_id=1162339237127622&offset=0&total_comments=8&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R1%22%7D Lance Shaner's results of fermenting Trois with lactose on MTF. 10/12/2015.]</ref>. It also does not produce significant amounts of acetic or lactic acid, even under aerobic conditions <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1215686268459585/?comment_id=1215815188446693&reply_comment_id=1215856578442554&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R6%22%7D Conversation with Lance Shaner of Omega Labs on MTF. 01/17/2016.]</ref>. Therefore if acid (lactic or acetic) is found in a Trois beer, contamination would be the cause. Approx. 500 million cells per mL; homebrew vials are approx. 17.5 billion cells at 35 mL <ref name="reddit_brett">[https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/47qbgb/wlp644_cell_count_and_shelf_life/ Homebrewing Reddit post. 02/26/2016.]</ref>.
