10. Crisp Hana Malt | Customer Reviews
Michael D. Verified Buyer 5.0 star rating 19/05/22
Lovely Pilsner Malt
I used this as the base malt in a Czech Pilsner and was very pleased with the results. It has quite a
subtle flavour which I think works well.
I plan to use it in a Cold IPA next.
Brendan I. Verified Buyer 5.0 star rating 09/05/22
A super smooth tasty malt for your next Pilsner, Helles or Kolsch!
I brewed a 100% Hana malt Kolsch style beer recently and I'm really happy with the flavour profile
from this malt. It's super smooth and bready with just a hint of sweetness to it. Another cracking
heirloom malt from Crisp!
