hopIQ found 10 beers with the same fruity and sweet character as Saaz Blonde. Modelled on the golden, fruity bière blonde of Belgium and part of Jacobsen's launch range in 2005. Pilsner, light crystal and wheat malt with a little brewing sugar form a base close to a pilsner, but a Belgian ale yeast and an extract of angelica, an old Nordic herb, take it elsewhere. Czech Saaz is the only hop and the bitterness stays low. Aroma: ripe melon and dried apricot with spicy hints of juniper and pine needles. The palate is elegant and sweet with a soft, dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
