Blonde

◎ Appearance

A pale golden hue characteristic of English ale malt, presenting excellent clarity and brightness. The head forms quickly with fine, persistent foam that clings to the glass with good retention, creating delicate lacing as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is lively and well-integrated, typical of cask-conditioned service.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus notes from the Styrian Goldings and Motueka hops, displaying a complex interplay of lemon zest and subtle stone fruit. The pale English ale malt provides a clean, bready foundation without heaviness, allowing the noble hop character to remain the dominant aromatic signature.

◐ Taste

The palate delivers an immediate burst of citrus and herbal hop character that carries through the mid-palate with refreshing crispness. A restrained bitterness of 15 IBU balances the light maltiness without asserting dominance, creating a clean, dry progression. The body remains light and smooth, with no astringency or harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is swift and fruity, with residual citrus notes fading cleanly into a dry, refreshing aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or heaviness remains, leaving the palate ready for the next sip.
