Festival Summer Glory

Festival Summer Glory is a golden ale kit with vibrant floral notes, citrus overtones and a perfectly balanced dry, bitter finish. Hopped with Crystal and Cascade, it makes 23 litres (40 pints) at around 5.0% ABV, with all the malt you need in the box.

Tasting notes

• Aroma: fresh and floral, with hints of zesty citrus
• Taste: vibrant floral notes and citrus
• Finish: dry and bitter

What's in the box

• Liquid malt extract - no added sugar needed
• A genuine brewer's yeast strain
• Hop pellets, added partway through fermentation for fresh aroma
• Priming sugar for bottling

How to brew

Mix the malt extract with water in your fermenter, top up to 23 litres, pitch the yeast and add the hop pellets halfway through fermentation, following the kit's step-by-step instructions. Fermentation takes around a week before bottling or kegging.

You'll also need

• 25 Litre Fermentation Vessel with Tap and an airlock
• Wine & Beer Hydrometer - to check fermentation has finished
• ChemSan - no-rinse sanitiser for everything that touches the beer
• Bottles with crown caps and a capper, or a King Keg pressure barrel

Brew it in spring for summer barbecues and serve chilled. For a lighter golden ale, see Festival Golden Stag, or browse the Festival Beer Kits range.
