Crystal Rye SRM 40

Crystal Rye 40 is a specialty rye malt roasted to 40 SRM, combining the bold character of rye with the rich sweetness and complexity of a crystal malt. It contributes a deep amber hue and offers inviting aromas of toasted grain, rye bread, and caramelized sugar. The palate reveals layers of spiced rye, fresh-baked bread crust, caramel, and subtle toasted cereal, creating a unique balance of sweetness, depth, and rustic grain character. Crystal Rye 40 enhances body, mouthfeel, and head retention while adding distinctive rye complexity to the finished beer. It is an excellent choice for rye ales, amber ales, Belgian-style ales, saisons, porters, and other specialty beer styles where added richness and character are desired.
