Golden Ticket Raspberry Ale Beer Kit

Description

Your Golden Ticket Raspberry Ale gives you a balanced ale built on 6 lbs. of Light Dry Malt Extract. Bonlander Munich Malt adds malty sweetness while Carapils Malt contributes body and the Chocolate Malt supplies a light cocoa note. Hallertau Mittlefruh and Czech Saaz hops deliver gentle bitterness with earthy and herbal character. The SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly so the 4 oz. of Raspberry Flavoring comes through as prominent fruit aroma and flavor in your finished beer.

Your Golden Ticket Raspberry Ale kit never sits on a shelf. Your grains are crushed to order. Your ingredients are packed fresh and you don't pay for a flashy box. It's all about providing you with the freshest ingredients for you to make your best beer.
