The Swaen Wheat Classic 3-5 EBC

The Swaen Wheat Classic is a high-quality wheat malt that delivers a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and excellent foam stability. With a light colour of 3–5 EBC, it contributes a pale golden hue while enhancing body and head retention in a wide range of beer styles.

Produced from carefully selected wheat, this malt provides a soft, bready flavour with subtle notes of dough and light grain sweetness, making it ideal for both traditional and modern wheat-based beers.

Wheat malts are essential for brewers looking to improve foam stability, mouthfeel, and protein structure, while also adding a characteristic smoothness to the final beer.
