My favorite recently has been a Voss kveik strain. Ferments quickly at elevated temps with a nice citrusy flavor. Works well with the hops I tend to use.

co-pitch of S05/S04 started at 68 and let it rise to 72.

I started using S04 in these beers at that starting temp after discussion with the brewer from Exhibit A since that is the yeast they use. I was not 100% happy at where the beers were finishing so I decided to co pitch with S05 to get the FG down more. I really like the mix.

I believe all the yeast companies have one or more of the strains found in the Voss kveik. I got mine from a small place called Mysterium Yeast...it's an isolate from the Voss strain but it was available in dry form which I found interesting. The 1st time I used it, I pitched at like 95F and was at terminal gravity withiin 24 hours.

I chilled and placed the Better Bottle into a cooler and wrapped a thick down quilt around it. It held temps very well with the added heat from fermentation. You probably lose some late hop aroma and flavors but it's probably nothing a big dry hop can't fix.

On their website they have a little on the malts (oats, pils), and hops (citra, duh) but nothing on yeast.

I think that beer, Hobo Life, could be replicated with a simple dry yeast. That beer is about Citra and not yeast character imo.
