“Multigrain Fruit Juice” Pale Ale

Note:  Small adaptations made for equivalent ingredients here in NZ.

Flaked oats in the mash lend a silky texture that is otherwise difficult to achieve, while malted wheat and barley supply the bulk of the fermentable sugars. Four late-kettle additions of Nelson Sauvin hops deliver the classic gooseberry and white wine notes for which that cultivar is known.
