Flavour and description
Château Smoked Wheat Malt is produced by a traditional technique where malted wheat is smoked over beechwood to develop intense smoked notes while preserving its malt characteristics, as pale color and enzymatic activity. Château Smoked Wheat Malt gives a strong smoked aroma and flavor to the beer, brings the particular wheat taste and mouthfeel, and enhances head formation and retention due to its high proteins levels. Smoked Ales and Lagers, Scottish Ale, and the Polish Grätzer Beer. Up to 15% of the grain bill.
