Your Label Peelers Sunset Amber Ale – Extract Original Beer Kit is built around freshness; your malt extract is packed to order, your specialty grains are crushed only when you buy them, and you never pay for flashy packaging. You get exactly what you want: ingredients chosen for quality, prepared with care, and ready for you to turn into your best beer.
With your Sunset Amber Ale Extract Kit, you create a rich and welcoming amber ale that pours with a deep hue and a satisfying malt presence. Light Liquid Malt Extract provides a smooth, full-bodied backbone; Munich malt adds warm, bready richness; caramel and crystal malts introduce layers of sweetness, subtle toffee, and the signature amber glow you expect from a well-crafted ale. The result is a beer that feels balanced, flavorful, and easy to drink.
Your hop profile unfolds in two stages: Magnum offers a clean bitterness at the start of the boil, creating structure that keeps the malt sweetness in check; Cascade follows with a late-boil addition that brings a gentle, earthy aroma, touched with floral brightness, rounding out the ale’s refreshing finish. A clean-fermenting US-05 yeast guides the fermentation, allowing your malt character to shine while keeping the final beer crisp and approachable.
When you brew this Sunset Amber Ale, you’re crafting a beer that feels familiar yet rewarding: rich malt flavor, balanced bitterness, and a glowing amber presentation that invites you to pour another. Whether you brew all the time or only once in a while, this extract version gives you everything you need to enjoy a well-built amber ale made entirely by you.
