Scottish 80/- Extract Kit

O.G: 1047 / Ready: 6 weeks

Scotland's answer to the English ESB, but with emphasis on malt instead of hops. Satisfying without being too rich, a Scottish 80/- is still potent enough to make you hear bagpipes if you overindulge. Even though it's not a bitter beer, the use of quality hops is key; our kit uses a judicious dose of Target hops. British Crystal lends a caramelly and slightly fruity edge to the clean maltiness of this dark-amber ale. Enjoy at cellar temperature in a pint glass.
