Simpsons Malt · Flavour and use

Low Colour Golden Promise Malt is a heritage malt that offers the same premium sweet, clean and slightly nutty malt character as traditional Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise, but with a lighter colour (max 3.5 °EBC) for brewers seeking a paler, more delicate malt profile. This makes it ideal for light, hop-forward styles such as Hazy IPAs, New England IPAs and crisp Golden Ales, where a soft malt backbone supports vibrant hop expression without adding too much colour or biscuity richness. Compared to Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise, Low Colour Golden Promise is lighter in hue and slightly more fermentable, producing a crisper finish with less residual sweetness. Against Extra Pale Ale Malt, meanwhile, although similarly pale, Low Colour Golden Promise provides a more rounded, slightly sweeter profile, making it a great choice for brewers who want brightness without sacrificing malt character. 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.
