Belgian light-coloured organic base malt. Kilning at up to 90-95°C. Usually used as a base malt or in combination with organic Pilsen 2RS malt to impart a richer malt flavour and additional colour. Being deeper in colour, this malt can add a golden hue to the wort. It is used with strong yeasts to produce organic amber and bitter beers. Château Pale Ale Nature malt is kilned longer and is usually better modified, providing a more pronounced flavour than organic Château Pilsen Nature. The enzymatic activity of Château Pale Ale Nature malt is sufficient when used with large proportion of non-enzymatic specialty malts. Organic pale ale styles and bitter beers, most traditional English beer styles. Up to 100% of the mix.
