Black Rock Pale Ale – Classic Pale Ale

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.
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.
For a craftier option, try 50-200g of dry hop at day 6 of fermentation.
