Simpsons Malt · Flavour and use

Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise is a heritage malt known for its sweet, clean and slightly nutty malt character. It delivers a well-rounded, balanced body with a touch of honeyed sweetness and a light golden hue (typically 4-6 °EBC). This malt – produced from heritage barley variety Golden Promise, which dates to the 1960s – is highly versatile, excelling in Pale Ales, IPAs, Bitters and Scotch Ales, where a smooth yet distinctive malt backbone is desired. Compared to Best Pale Ale Malt, Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise is slightly softer and sweeter, with a rounder mouthfeel and less pronounced biscuit notes and, against Maris Otter, it is cleaner, more delicate and offers a more refined sweetness. Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise also provides greater depth and malt complexity than Extra Pale Ale Malt, which is crisper and lighter in colour. Overall, this makes it a top choice for brewers seeking a high-quality, flavourful base malt with heritage. Furthermore, as we own the Golden Promise variety, supply seed through our agricultural merchanting division McCreath Simpson & Prentice (MSP) and purchase the barley direct from trusted growers each year, we can offer full traceability and sustainability data on the finished malt.
