Description
Built for Belgian work: a honey-gold caramel malt with restrained sweetness that props up the malt backbone while leaving room for yeast esters and phenols. Blondes, abbey beers, dubbels and tripels are the obvious homes. Its high moisture ceiling reflects the gentle drum treatment used to keep the flavor delicate.
