Dovetail Brewery

Belgian Blonde Ale·United States·6.2% ABV·One of 51 Belgian Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Blonde's floral and fruity character. Dovetail Brewery's Blonde, crafted in Chicago, is a faithful interpretation of the classic Belgian blonde style, brought to life by one of the Windy City's most traditionally minded craft breweries. It pours a luminous golden straw with a white, pillowy head and exceptional clarity. The aroma offers delicate floral notes, soft honeyed malt, and the characteristic spicy, fruity esters of authentic Belgian yeast. On the palate, it is refreshingly light-bodied yet rounded, balancing subtle biscuity sweetness with gentle herbal hop bitterness. The carbonation is lively and clean. The finish is dry, crisp, and elegantly short — an approachable yet nuanced blonde that honours its Continental roots while reflecting Chicago's adventurous brewing spirit.
