Use of Cobra yeast in beer kits.

Came across many canned beer kits ( 5 ales + 4 cider ) plus a few other slightly bloated tins which I've discarded.
All are well beyond Best Before Dates so wondered whether using the cheap 'high octane 'yeast advertised online would work.
Obviously don't want to be poisoned but wonder what taste effect this yeast has on a beer kit.

Those yeasts are designed for rapid fermentation of sugar washes for making spirits. Most people who make spirits agree that the yeasts are too nasty even for that purpose. Wouldnt be using them for anything you actually want to drink tbh.

If you want a cheap yeast to use in a beer kit, you’d be best giving Crossmyloof a go.
