Gladfield’s American Ale malt is our answer for brewers who have found that
our regular Ale malt will add too much of a malty and toasted flavour profile to
certain beer styles. This malt starts as all our other base malts do with our
traditional long cool germination period. What separates it from our standard
Ale malt is a newly developed a kilning recipe that favours colour formation
typical to an Ale malt but with a clean malt profile and without the extra toasted
flavours. This malt has been a favourite for producing popular hop-forward
American style beers for which it was named.
