Description
Your Alternative Ambrosia Altbier gives you the malty sweetness and full-bodied profile from Munich liquid malt extract and Munich malt, with caramel undertones from CaraMunich malt and roasted coffee notes from roasted barley malt. Hersbrucker, Tettnang, and Saaz hops add a delicate pleasant bitterness, and Nottingham dry yeast leaves subtle fruity esters.
Your Label Peelers Alternative Ambrosia Altbier 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.
