A classic style and arguably the forerunner to the development of quality beer in the US. This is a slightly different take on it using the same classic malt bill, but using a mixture of old and new hops for a punchier flavour and aroma.
FLAVOUR: In this big beer, the initial toffee notes are then coupled with a fascinating rose petal character, pink grapefruit and herbal yet slightly earthy character.
AROMA: Resplendent aromas of pink grapefruit, melon, passion fruit and lemon.

NOTE: There appears to be a misprint in the instructions, we haven’t told you when to add the Carrageenan. Add this 10-15 minutes before the end of the boil. Our apologies.
