A summer-time thirst-quencher that doesn’t follow the herd, this distinctive white ale moseys on in with a crisp mountain freshness and a migration of unique herb and orange notes. Pouring a dusty pale straw colour into the glass and resting a while under a fine head, there’s a sniff of wheat, citrus peel and coriander on the nose before your tongue laps up the flavours to match, teamed with hints of banana bread and marmalade, before rounding out with a refreshing low bitterness and a clean finish to give a deer-lightful ale – just in time for the holiday season.

start the brew at 18°C.
Sprinkle both the Lallemand Munich Wheat Beer Dry Yeast and brew can yeast then fit the lid.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and ferment at 18C to 22C.
Fermentation should take around 7 to 12 days.
On day 7 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

3. Bottle

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over 2 days, expect about 1009 to 1014.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps.
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the PET bottles.
A hop driven beer such as this is often at its best when young.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 4.8% ABV.
