That process leaves behind non-fermentable dextrins, which is why a small amount does more than add color: it builds body, improves head formation and helps the head last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 35 PPG and 20 °Lovibond it contributes golden to light amber color and a candy-like sweetness without the raisin or burnt-sugar notes of the darker caramel malts.
