I did find one thread mentioning this malt in 2010, and it was positive. Is that still the consensus on this malt? Thinking of getting a sack. |

I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to agree with Chumley.  This is a fabulous malt with a rich pale ale character, even though it is not labelled as such. It is not husky or grainy but soft and bready with a touch of caramel, like, as Chumley says, Golden Promise. This could successfully be used as a base malt for many, many styles, either domestic, English, German, or Belgian. I would recommend against using it in an American lager because it's too malty - you'd need to cut it with 75% six-row. Otherwise, game on. Super, super malt. Love it! |

Nice description, Graham. See, agreeing with me didn't kill you.
Being as "Malteurop" is grown and malted in Montana, I urge everyone to check this malt out. Support your Montana farmers and maltsters! (and European corporations....) |
