Simpsons Amber Malt — 2025 Malt Experiment #11

The finale, and a fitting one: Matt from Irondale Brewing chose Simpsons Amber Malt for the amber ale — an on-style pick that delivers the good parts of crystal malt without the odd tang crystal can bring. It adds to both the color and the flavor, and immediately gets penciled in as a substitution to rescue a brown ale recipe that had been overloaded with caramel malt.

With that, the 2025 experiment wraps: eleven brewers, eleven malts, eleven beers, and not a bad one in the batch. The sign-off invites any Brewtuber to keep the reviews going by shipping more beer — an offer history suggests will be taken up.
