Notes

A light, straw-colored ale, with low bittering hops, but full hop flavor and aroma profile. Smooth malt tones coupled with a crisp lager-like finish

We recommend boiling your hops in a hop bag (muslin sock) or straining them out before primary fermentation.

Add Irish moss or whirlfloc to your boil for the last 15 min. for better clarity. (not included in the kit)

Try to ferment on the cooler side of the yeast’s temperature range, for a crisper, lager-like finish.
