Mild Ale All Grain Kit

O.G: 1032 / Ready: 4 weeks

An English ale from before the era of industrial brewing, traditional milds are very light-bodied but dark in color and full of malty flavor. Back in the day, it was brewed by the same pubs that served it or by women for household consumption. This kit stays true to the style's light, refreshing body and quaffability without sacrificing character. Chocolate, Amber, and Brown malts impart a nutty dryness with roasty undertones and a rich deep-ruby color, while the Thames Valley yeast strain gives subtle fruitiness. Like our British Bitter, this is a great session beer (which means you can have a few pints instead of one) that tastes best at cellar temperature.
