Brewer’s Tip

If you enjoy hop aroma, consider a small dry hop addition (20–30g of Cascade or Amarillo during fermentation) to boost citrus and floral character.

Let it bottle condition at least 2–3 weeks for the best clarity and head retention.

Mangrove Jack’s Brewer’s Series kits are great value for beginners or experienced brewers looking for an easy-drinking, dependable pint.

This American Pale Ale is a solid, no-fuss brew with just enough hop character to keep it interesting.
