Rahr North Star Pils has been specially handled to ensure a very light color and a simple mash schedule. It will contribute a pale golden color to a wort. North Star Pils tends toward more honey and sweet bread flavor with underlying notes of hay rather than grainy and crackery. Plus its high diastatic power makes it an ideal base malt for almost any recipe.
