Cascade Golden Harvest Lager reviewed by Boingk
Chocolate pils? Am I mad? Perhaps, but
it turned out to be a good beer, so
listen up. I used the base kit with
US-05 dried yeast, 1500g amber liquid
malt, 150g chocolate grain, 12g Saaz
hopping boiled for 20min, and another
12g dry in the fermenter for a week
before bottling. It was brewed at
16-18′C. Result was a dark,
close-headed beer with a coffee/cocoa
aftertaste intermingling with the Saaz
hopping. The body wasn’t too thick and
would best be described as medium to
medium-heavy. It improved outta-sight at
the 4-week mark. I was very impressed,
and rate the kit well as not many stand
up to such adulteration and still retain
their character. 4 stars and a repeat
offender. – Rating:4/5
