Technical
'Harvesters is brewed using the same process as used for all beers. However, it is mashed at a relatively high temperature. This has the effect of reducing the fermentability of the sugars that are extracted into the wort. Consequently, the amount of alcohol produced by the yeast during fermentation is lower than it would otherwise be but the body and general character of the beer are maintained. To ensure a pleasant and delicate flavour, small amounts of sugar and elderflower are used to balance the bitterness and to enhance the floral character from the hops.2.5% ABV |
