Black Rock Classic Pale Ale

Black Rock Classic Pale Ale

Brewing beer has never been this easy with the Black Rock Malt Extract Brewing can that makes 20L of beer. 

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
