Description
Caramelized wheat, huskless and therefore free of harsh tannin bite, with almond, biscuit and fresh-bread notes. The published color spans a wide band, so treat the figure here as the mid-point. Its high extract reflects wheat’s starch-rich grain, and it adds body and soft mouthfeel to wheat beers.
