Bestmalz Caramel Pils 3-7 EBC

Bestmalz Caramel Pils is a very light caramel malt designed to enhance body, foam stability, and subtle sweetness while maintaining a pale beer colour. With a colour range of 3–7 EBC, it adds a soft golden hue without darkening the beer significantly.

 

This malt delivers delicate flavours of light caramel, honey, and gentle malt sweetness, making it perfect for refining the mouthfeel and balance of lighter beer styles. It improves head retention and fullness, helping create a more rounded and polished final product.

 

Caramel Pils is especially useful in beers where you want to boost body and stability without adding heavy colour or strong caramel notes.
