Azacca Braindog IPA Beer Kit

Description

Your Azacca Braindog IPA gives you a golden ale with prominent tropical fruit and citrus notes from the Azacca hops used across the boil. Pilsen Light Dry Malt Extract and Munich Malt form a clean, lightly malty base while Caramel 20L Malt contributes subtle sweetness and Carapils Malt supports body and head retention. SafAle US-05 ferments cleanly, allowing the hop aroma and flavor to remain forward in your finished beer.

Your Azacca Braindog 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.
