It's a blond

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, white head that settles to a thin collar with good retention. The carbonation is evident throughout, creating fine chains of bubbles that rise steadily. The beer presents a bright, inviting appearance characteristic of well-crafted Belgian blondes.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent citrus notes from Citra and Summit hops, layered beneath the characteristic spicy, peppery character that Belgian yeast imparts. Subtle floral and herbal notes emerge beneath, with a light fruity undertone and a whisper of honey that grounds the composition without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate is clean and smooth on entry, with the spice from the yeast taking center stage over any malty sweetness. Citrus and light fruit flavors develop through the mid-palate, while the 18 IBU provides restrained bitterness that complements rather than challenges. The body is balanced and refreshing, never cloying, with excellent drinkability at 6% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with the spicy yeast character lingering pleasantly into the aftertaste. A gentle citrus note and faint honey echo emerge as the beer fades, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another sip.
