Notes

Blonde Ales can flex light to crunchy malt character and bold or balanced Hop happiness. This recipe teams a characterful English yeast strain and the satifysingly subtle yet zingy and zesty German Hop, Saphir. Rounding out this whole quenching package is the addition of Biscuit malt, it sends a mesmerising and petite malty-Anzac-biscuity dry crunch across your palette, “you beauty!” you scream!

Having this little satiating beer in your ‘go to’ list this summer mean you can throw at it whatever hops or yeast you like, it’s versatile and just fun! This iteration has a light passionfruit and sleepy time tea aroma, bold stone fruit flavour that is chased by a stallion of malty biscuity dryness. Have a pleasant day whilst sipping this boisterous Ale.
