{"product_id":"recipe-kit-goat-steam-ale","title":"Recipe Kit Goat Steam Ale","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Goat Steam Ale is a pale golden Australian craft ale that is ripe, tropical and refreshing. Cascade and Galaxy hops do the heavy lifting, with waves of fruit, tropical and floral aroma over a smooth, lightly sweet malt base. It makes 21 litres and is one of the most approachable hop-forward kits we offer, a genuine beginner beer that still produces something worth talking about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat it is like to brew\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a forgiving, hop-forward pale ale, which makes it a brilliant first hoppy brew.
