Crisp Crystal 77L edges toward a darker crystal malt, perfect for imparting colors of deep golden to dark red; right in line with Amber ales or hoppy red IPA, but suitable for anything teetering towards “dark”. Notes of caramel sweetness come through, while head retention, mouthfeel and body are also assisted. The longer kilning of this malt also imparts some roasty notes within the malty sweetness.
