Blonde Brummie

Tap to rate

Blonde Brummie is a 4.4% blonde ale on a base of British floor malt, brewed since 2018. British hops give it a resinous character, and the finish is complex and bittersweet. It is first and foremost a pub beer, poured from cask and from keg, with cask the more common of the two. In strength it sits between Pale Brummie and the brewery's oatmeal stout.

◌ Aroma

British hops deliver a resinous, herbal character on the nose. Beneath sits a soft, bready maltiness from the floor malt base, with subtle grain sweetness. The overall impression is restrained and inviting rather than assertive.

◐ Taste

Clean malt entry with gentle sweetness from British floor malt, followed by a moderate resinous hop bitterness in the mid-palate. The bittersweet character builds gradually, with low IBU (15) allowing malt and hops to sit in balance rather than clash. Body is light to medium, refreshing on the palate.

◑ Finish

A lingering, drying finish with resinous hop notes and subtle malt sweetness playing off each other. The aftertaste remains complex and gently bitter without harshness.
