Batch #211 ~ Special Roast Ale

 

In our front yard flower garden this summer, this flower came to visit for a season.  Fortunately for it, we had not gotten around to weeding this section before it reached flower stage, or it would have been gone, undiscovered.  When I did go in to weed, it had bloomed, and I had to search for it's genome.  The "Globe Candytuft" flower is an annually seeded variety, so I'm hoping it's here to stay.

This ale is made with a "Special Roast" malt and all Cascade hops, with an American dry ale yeast.  The special roast malt imparts a nutty-biscuit flavor to the ale, which has made it one of my favorite ingredients.

Cheers!
