Summer Scorcher IPA Beer Kit - Extract

Description

Your Summer Scorcher IPA gives you a bold hop flavor and aroma with citrus and tropical fruit notes from the Citra and Amarillo hops. East Kent Goldings provides the bittering backbone while Pale Ale Dry Malt Extract along with Caramel 40L and Carapils specialty grains create a balanced body with light caramel character. The US-05 yeast ferments clean, allowing the hops to stand out. Additions of habanero and pineapple flavoring deliver a spicy kick and fruity twist to your finished beer.
