1lb Gambrinus Honey malt
1 Can Vintner's Harvest Apricot Puree
.5oz Palisades hops (60min)

Abv: 5.2
IBU: 18
SRM: 8

Honey & Honey Malt build upon each other to complement the unmistakable flavor and aroma of ripe apricots. This beer will ferment out quite dry with a perception of sweetness from evocative aromas. Underlying clean bitterness from Palisades is just enough to balance the malt and fruit sweetness with the citrus Amarillo hops providing a tangerine-like citrus-floral counterpoint.

This is an ideal lawnmower beer. Plenty of flavors, depth, and complexity yet still light, crisp and refreshing.

SRM: Pink

In classic frambozen fashion this beer uses tartness, rather than bitterness from the hops to balance the raspberry fruit flavor. The wheat provides creaminess and a smooth mouthfeel while the flavors remain light and refreshing. Best served well chilled with high carbonation in glasses that will show off the massive frothy head, filled with the aroma of fresh raspberries.

Yeast: Any British ESB yeast or Sweet Stout yeast

OG: 1.065
FG: 1.017
Abv: 6.1
IBU: 33
SRM: 43

This is a rich, deep, and satisfying beer- full of chocolate and cherry flavors wedded with deep fruity caramel vows. Fruity esters from British yeast strains will accentuate the rich maltiness of the Special B malt, which also adds dark caramel flavor to offset the dryness of the roasted grains. The Chocolate essence and unfermentable lactose together add dark chocolate bittersweet goodness. A beer to savor alone or with dessert after dinner

Yeast: Any lager yeast, double-pitched

OG: 1.076
FG: 1.018
Abv: 7.4
IBU: 30
SRM: 20

Rich in flavor and complex in its fruit and malt character, this will be a medium bodied beer packed with flavor. Alcohol warmth along with rich, malty, and dense fruity flavors from malt melanoidins will combine with the blackberry for an intense dark lager that will explode on your palate. There are a lot of complex sugars here for your yeast to work through so expect a long, slow fermentation and extended condition/lagering time.
