Belgian Blonde Extract Beer Kit with Steeping Grains

Originally brewed as a pilsner spin-off, this style is both golden in color and smooth in taste. Our Belgian blonde extract beer kit is crafted from the highest quality extracts and steeping grains producing subtle malt aromas to compliment the notes of orange and spice. Two lovely hop additions produce a well-balanced ale. A great brew for experienced extract brewers who enjoy European and American-style light ales. We recommend a proper yeast starter and good fermentation temperature control to produce a smooth, easy-drinking ale.

Please note: Yeast is now sold separately. Strain options linked above.
