Rahr Pale Ale Malt

Rahr Pale Ale Malt is a premium ale-style base malt crafted from a select blend of North American 2-row barleys. Known for its slightly darker color compared to standard 2-row or Pilsner malts, this malt provides brewers with an excellent balance of rich malt flavor and high extract yield. With its deeper color and full-bodied character, Rahr Pale Ale Malt is ideal for a wide range of ale styles, from hop-forward IPAs to malt-rich amber ales and porters.

Kilned to a slightly higher degree than Rahr’s standard 2-row, this malt imparts a more pronounced malty sweetness, with notes of biscuit, nutty undertones, and a hint of toasted bread. These flavors make it an exceptional choice for brewers looking to create beers with a robust malt backbone.

Rahr Pale Ale Malt brings complexity and depth to your beer, with subtle flavors of:

• Biscuit: A crisp, toasted grain character
• Nutty undertones: Soft, nut-like sweetness
• Lightly toasted bread: Adds warmth and richness without overpowering other ingredients

This malt provides a balanced malt profile, delivering a rich sweetness while allowing other elements, such as hops, to shine through.

Pale Ale Malt Color & Lovibond:
