Bragging Rights Braggart IPA Beer Kit

Description

Your Bragging Rights Braggart IPA gives you a light golden brew with pleasant malty sweetness balanced by citrus, floral, and tropical hop notes. The Light Malt Extract provides the base while Bonlander Munich Malt, American Honey Malt, and Caramel 20L Malt contribute complexity and a touch of caramel. Your Wildflower Honey, added at flameout, enhances the honey character already present from the Honey Malt.

The hop additions of Cascade, Centennial, and Citra deliver intense citrus and floral aromas, with the SafAle US-05 yeast fermenting cleanly to keep the focus on the hops and malts. The result is a refreshing Honey IPA with a slightly sweet finish.

Your Label Peelers Bragging Rights Braggart IPA 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.
