Very low color or flavor contribution. Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

I've been playing with this recipe for a few rounds now and I'm really happy with the way this turned out. Light and sessionable, yet nice hop presence and a dry finish. If I were to make one more tweak to this recipe I'd probably dry hop it with some additional Simcoe and Amarillo.
