Sunset Amber Ale Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Sunset Amber Ale gives you a balanced amber ale with rich malt character and a clean finish. Light Dry Malt Extract forms the smooth, full-bodied base while Aromatic Munich Malt adds warm bready notes. Caramel/Crystal Malt 40L and 80L layers bring toffee sweetness and the signature amber color.

Magnum hops at 60 minutes supply clean bitterness to balance the malt, and late Cascade hops at 10 minutes add earthy floral aroma. US-05 ale yeast ferments cleanly so the malt profile stays front and center.

Your Sunset Amber 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 giving you the freshest ingredients to make your best beer.
