Light to very dark brown color. Clear. Low to moderate off-white to light tan head.

ingredients

Well-modified pale malt, either American or Continental, plus crystal and darker malts should complete the malt bill. American hops are typical, but UK or noble hops can also be used. Moderate carbonate water would appropriately balance the dark malt acidity.
