Their product information sheets show color between a pilsner malt and a 'standard' 2 row malt. Flavor profile lacks "grainy" (from a pilsner), and the "bready" / "biscuit" flavors of a 2 row malt have been "dialed down".Is it just 2 row with a different name?
Nice find. Thanks!I found this podcast
Well yes of course it's BS. Let's call everything "IPA" because it guarantees sale of more product. No-brainer.IPA malt just BS marketing?
For those interesting in insights into the malting process (and industry), this podcast is worth a listen.I found this podcast, I’ll try to listen to it today….

Yes, sir! Blending base malts is often the answer.If you want something in between the color and flavor of Pilsner and 2-row, just use half Pilsner and half 2-row.
Problem solved.
... and further let's assume that 5% notice, but don't care. And the remaining 5% will "walk away" from an IPA with Pils malt. If I were a professional craft brewer, and if I could switch to this malt (same price) and "get back" that 5%, there would seem to be a positive impact on my "bottom line".I bet 90% of people can't tell the difference between Pils and Pale malt in an IPA
