American Ale malt is Gladfield's answer for brewers who have found that regular ale malt will add too much of a malty and toasted flavour profile to certain beer styles. This malt starts with their traditional long cool germination period. What separates it from standard ale malt is a newly developed 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.
