I am trying to make a beer similar to Saranac Pale Pale Ale. It's just a good, refreshing pale ale. My question is which specialty grain I should use. I will be using extract for the base, so I won't be using Maris Otter. Is there a specialty grain that would be better than others for this? Thanks.
Here is the description from their website:
Pale Pale Ale
Availability: 12 Beers of Summer 2010
Brewers Notes:
Finally a Pale Ale true to it's name! We've created a crisp, hoppy Pale Ale that is truly pale in color without sacrificing the hop character and malt balance you expect in an American Pale Ale. We've selected citrusy centennial hops balance by the background nuttiness of Maris Otter Malt. We think you'll find this the most refreshing Pale Ale you've ever had.
Beer Style: American Pale Ale
Malt Selections: Marris Otter
Hop Selections: Centennial
Color: Golden
Mouthfeel / Body: Light to Medium
Food Companions: Light Fair
Alcohol By Volume: 4.7%
Original Gravity: 11.75
