Description
Your Herd Dog Amber Ale draws its rich malty backbone from Amber Dry Malt Extract along with Bonlander Munich Malt, Caramel 60L Malt, and Carapils Malt. El Dorado hops deliver bold fruit at 60 minutes, Sabro hops add tropical flavor at 15 minutes, and Amarillo hops contribute citrus aroma at 5 minutes. SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly, allowing the malt and hop notes to remain prominent in your finished beer.
Your Label Peelers Herd Dog Amber Ale Original Beer 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.
