Halcyon Pale Ale Malt
Halcyon is a classic English pale ale two-row winter malting barley that was bred using a cross of Maris Otter and Sargent barley varieties.
It became popular in the UK during the 1980s due to its excellent agronomic qualities of good disease resistance and relatively high yields, as well as its homogeneity, which ensured its excellent performance in the malt house. Halcyon gives the beer a pleasant malty/biscuit component resulting in a hearty mouthfeel, as well as some depth and complexity of flavour. Halcyon is now only available from Thomas Fawcett & Sons Ltd who grow it on their own farm in Yorkshire.
