Egyptian Beer | Beer recipe |
Description
With a dark colour, a sweet taste and a bouquet of incredible aromas, this recipe makes use of the addition of spices, just like in antiquity, to bring greater complexity and flavour to the drink. The use of malt made from one of the first domesticated cereals, Emmer, a relative of wheat, brings a special touch to the flavour of this refreshing beer.
*The bitterness depends on the alpha acid content of hops, boiling conditions, and other parameters.
