Limelight Summer Lime Ale Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Limelight Summer Lime Ale gives you a crisp, refreshing summer ale with a clean malt backbone and bright lime character. Golden Light Dry Malt Extract and 2-Row Brewers Malt create a light body while flaked barley contributes a silky mouthfeel. Columbus hops supply bitterness with subtle citrus undertones, and the 1 oz. Dried Lime Peel added late in the boil brings focused lime aroma.

SafAle US-05 ferments clean and crisp so the lime notes stay prominent. The included Irish Moss/Energizer packet helps produce a bright, clear pour, and the 4 oz. Lime Flavoring Extract added at bottling delivers the final citrus punch.

Your Limelight Summer Lime 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.
