Description
A body malt rather than a color one: malted so that most of what it carries is unfermentable, which thickens the mouthfeel and holds the head while leaving the beer as pale as it found it. Dingemans built it for low- and no-alcohol beers, where thinness is the whole problem, and allow a quarter of the grist. They file it with their kilned malts rather than their caramels, and publish no diastatic figure for it.
