Info
When you need a high performing well balanced malt to complement your big hops, look no further than Golden Promise. It gives beautiful mouthfeel to bring balance to beers with even the gutsiest hops. And when you drop the gravity for a session beer, you won’t lose out on body. This gives the biggest base of any malt without adding colour, resulting in exceptional beers. Just ask any of our award winning customers who use Golden Promise – the results speak for themselves.
