Black Rock Classic Pale Ale is brewed to deliver a typical easy drinking Australasian Pale Ale flavour with a light colour. NZ Green Bullet hops are added at the boil to provide a moderate bitterness.
This Classic Pale Ale pours a pale golden color with an SRM of 3, offering a clean and crisp malt profile. The 100% MaltEurop Lager malt provides a light and refreshing body with a subtle sweetness. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is moderate, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 16. At 4.5% ABV, this Pale Ale is both sessionable and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for any occasion
Costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home. Discerning home brewers are always looking to improve their brewing techniques and beer quality. With this in mind, the master brewers at Black Rock have expertly brewed the highest quality fresh wort in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, using only the finest fresh NZ malt before gently evaporating to 80 brix for your convenience.
For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Pale Ale with Black Rock Unhopped Light (or a second can of Black Rock Classic Pale Ale to boost bitterness) & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ US-05.
