Great Western | High Color (Pale Ale) Malt | per lb

Great Western Malting Pale High Color Malt is a flavorful American base malt designed for brewers who want more malt character, color, and depth than a standard 2-Row base malt. Its richer malt profile provides a sturdy foundation for bigger beers and helps balance assertive bitterness and hop-forward recipes without overpowering the other ingredients.

Kilned to a deeper color than traditional pale or 2-Row malt, Pale High Color contributes a richer, more pronounced malty character along with additional golden-to-amber color. This makes it an excellent choice for beers where the base malt needs to stand up alongside generous hop additions, specialty grains, or higher alcohol levels.

Use Great Western Pale High Color as the primary base malt when you want a fuller malt backbone, or blend it with lighter base malts to increase malt complexity and color while maintaining excellent brewing performance.
