Spruced Up IPA Beer Kit - Extract

Description

East Kent Golding hops contribute earthy and spicy notes, Citra adds citrus character, and Amarillo supplies tropical fruit flavors. Juniper berries added late in the boil give your beer a subtle piney essence, while SafAle US-05 ferments cleanly to keep the hop profile forward.
