Citrus Grove IPA Beer Kit - All Grain

Description

Your Citrus Grove IPA gives you a vibrant citrus aroma and flavor from the Citra, Amarillo, and Cascade hops layered over a clean bitterness from Magnum. The 2-Row Brewers Malt and Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L build a golden base with light caramel notes that support the hops without overpowering them. SafAle US-05 yeast ferments clean so the hop character stays forward in your finished beer.

Your Label Peelers Citrus Grove IPA 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.
