🌍 United States · Blonde Ale · One of 41 Blonde Ales in hopIQ

714 Blonde Ale takes its name from the Orange County area code and is built as a light, easy-going blonde ale. Two-row barley with a small share of honey malt gives a golden colour and a soft, bready sweetness with a light honey note. Cascade, Simcoe and Willamette add a subtle citrus bitterness with hints of lemon peel and a faint floral touch. The finish stays crisp and clean.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with soft, bready malt notes underscored by a light honey sweetness from the malt bill. Cascade, Simcoe, and Willamette hops introduce subtle citrus notes—particularly lemon peel—alongside a whisper of floral character that remains restrained and elegant rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

The palate is soft and approachable on entry, with the two-row barley and honey malt delivering a gentle sweetness without heaviness. The trio of Edelhopfen hops provides a light, crisp bitterness that balances the malt backbone without dominating, while lemon and citrus notes weave through the mid-palate with restraint.
