Crafted with care and precision, this beer kit combines the finest ingredients to create a flavor profile that is both refreshing and invigorating. Picture yourself taking a leisurely stroll through a blooming garden, surrounded by the sweet scent of wildflowers. That's the essence of our Apiary Afternoon Ale.
We start with 5 lbs. of Pilsen Dry Malt Extract, providing a solid foundation for your brewing masterpiece. To enhance the honey notes, we add 2 lbs. of luscious Wildflower Honey, sourced from the nectar of nature's finest blossoms. This infusion of honey brings a touch of sweetness that dances harmoniously with the other flavors.
To add depth and complexity, we incorporate 1 lb. of 2-Row Brewer's Malt and 8 oz. of Honey Malt. These malts contribute a rich, malty character that complements the honey and lemon perfectly. The result is a beer that is smooth and balanced, with just the right amount of sweetness.
But we don't stop there! We want to give your taste buds a little surprise. That's why we include 3 oz. of Citra Hops, known for their vibrant citrus flavors and aromas. These hops add a delightful bite of bitterness, creating a well-rounded taste experience that keeps you coming back for more.
To further enhance the citrus profile, we infuse the brew with 1 oz. of zesty Ginger Root and 1 oz. of tangy Lemon Peel. These additions bring a refreshing twist to the beer, elevating the flavors and giving it a unique character that sets it apart from the rest.
So, whether you're enjoying a lazy afternoon in the garden or spending time with our endangered friends, the honeybees, Apiary Afternoon Ale is the perfect companion. With its wildflower honey aromas and a touch of bitterness, this beer kit will bring a taste of the outdoors right to your glass.
Get ready to savor the flavors of nature with Apiary Afternoon Ale. Brew it, sip it, and let your taste buds take flight on a journey of pure bliss. Cheers to your brewing adventure!
