These hybrid ales were originally created as ale yeast alternatives to pale lagers, often cold-conditioned to enhance clarity and crispness. Adjuncts like corn help lighten the body, and hops are kept subtle and floral. Speckled Heifer delivers all the essential characteristics of this historic style with an extract-friendly grain bill and streamlined brewing process.
