The malt bill includes a smooth base of Pilsner malt, with flaked oats and organic wheat for body and mouthfeel, rounded out by a touch of acidulated malt for crispness. Brewed at 72% efficiency, it’s formulated to hit an OG of 1.044 and finish at 1.006, resulting in a clean 5% ABV beer with 15 IBU for gentle bitterness.
Primary fermentation features WLP066 London Fog Ale Yeast, which works at 67 °F before raising to 72 °F for a clean, balanced fermentation. For true tropical flavor, add 1 lb of rinsed and macerated organic Valencia oranges (no larger than ½″ pieces) for added aroma and bright orange notes.
