Black Rock Classic Wheat Beer Kit
Black Rock Classic Wheat Beer Kit
Pouring a bright pale gold, this easy-drinking wheat beer offers subtle sweetness, gentle fruitiness, and exceptional refreshment. NZ Green Bullet™ hops provide a mild bitterness that balances the malt profile without overshadowing its clean, smooth character.
At 4.5% ABV and 10 IBU, Black Rock Classic Wheat is highly sessionable, crisp, and thirst-quenching, making it the perfect choice for warm afternoons, outdoor gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a refreshing beer.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Wheat with Black Rock Unhopped Wheat (or a second can of Black Rock Classic Wheat to boost bitterness) & a Wheat beer yeast for banana esters.
For a Hoegarden style, try adding a small amount of orange zest or essenca and freshly crushed coriander seeds. Also goes well with fruit concentrates (raspberry, boysenberry, citrus or stone fruit).
