Imagine a deep reddish elixir, shimmering in your glass, beckoning you to take a sip. As you raise the glass to your lips, the subtle hop bitterness dances on your tongue, instantly melting away the stresses of the day. This is not your ordinary beer; it's a symphony of flavors that will redefine your perception of what a beer can be.

At the heart of this extraordinary brew lies the essence of chamomile. Revered for centuries for its calming properties, chamomile adds a touch of serenity to every sip. The delicate chamomile aromatics intertwine with the other ingredients, creating a harmonious balance that is both soothing and invigorating.

To achieve this remarkable flavor profile, we've carefully selected the finest ingredients. The foundation of this brew is built upon 4 lbs. of Wheat Dry Malt Extract, providing a solid base for the other flavors to shine. We've also added 1 lb. of Honey Malt, infusing a subtle sweetness that complements the chamomile beautifully.

But we didn't stop there. To add depth and complexity, we've included 1 lb. of Biscuit Malt, lending a warm, toasty character to the brew. And to elevate the richness, we've incorporated 1 lb. of Dark Belgian Candi Sugar, imparting a touch of caramelized sweetness that will leave you craving more.

To enhance the natural sweetness, we've included 2 lb. of Raw Honey, adding a luscious honeyed note that perfectly complements the chamomile. This combination of ingredients creates a symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you yearning for another sip.

To balance the sweetness and add a touch of bitterness, we've carefully selected 2 oz. of Fuggle Hops. These hops provide a subtle earthy and floral character, harmonizing with the chamomile and creating a well-rounded flavor profile.

And finally, the pièce de résistance, 2.5 oz. of Chamomile Flower. These delicate flowers infuse the brew with their gentle essence, elevating the chamomile notes to new heights and ensuring that every sip is a blissful experience.

So, if you're ready to embark on a brewing journey like no other, our High Tea Herbal Ale beer kit is waiting for you. Unleash your inner brewmaster and indulge in the serenity of chamomile, the richness of honey, and the complexity of carefully selected malts. Elevate your beer-drinking experience and discover the true bounties of what a beer can be. Cheers to relaxation and enjoyment!
