Humboldt Clouds Double IPA Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Humboldt Clouds Double IPA gives you a bold, resinous West Coast double IPA with pronounced bitterness and an amplified dank hop profile rich in earthy, piney, and citrus notes. The Light Dry Malt Extract forms the base while Carapils Malt contributes smooth mouthfeel and Light Crystal Malt adds a hint of sweetness to balance the hops. SafAle US-05 yeast ferments cleanly so the hop character remains up front.

Dry hopping with Mosaic, Cascade, and Nelson Sauvin builds vibrant aroma, and the late additions of Amarillo, Chinook, Simcoe, and Columbus layer in more pine and citrus.
