Imperial Honey Blonde Ale Extract Kit – PB Ale House Clone
Recreate the beachside buzz of Pacific Beach Ale House’s iconic Beach Buzz—now in extract form. This smooth and deceptively strong Imperial Honey Blonde Ale drinks like sunshine in a glass and is brewed with 3 lbs of Orange Blossom honey added at flameout for complexity and floral character.
This 5-gallon extract recipe kit offers an easier, faster brew day without sacrificing flavor. Idaho 7 hops deliver citrus and light pine notes, while a clean fermentation with Chico-style yeast (WLP001 or similar) supports a dry finish and drinkable strength.
Grain Milling
We automatically mill the grains included with SoCal Brewing Supply beer recipe kits so they are ready for brew day. If you want the grains left unmilled, please add that request in the shopping cart notes before checkout. We’ll do our best to support unmilled requests when packing your order.
