Blonde Ale·Czech Republic·3.5% ABV·One of 195 Blonde Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Diplomat's citrusy and hoppy character. A light, pale, top-fermented beer, labelled a summer ale by the brewery and brewed at 9°, with a citrus and grapefruit note and a pronounced bitterness from Amarillo, which the brewery says also brings the scent of blooming meadows. Pilsner, Pale Ale and Carahell malts make up the grist. It was made for the republic's diplomats travelling to countries with a hot climate.
