Zonnig Blond

◎ Appearance

Zonnig Blond presents a hazy golden-yellow body with fine suspended particles that catch the light. The head forms quickly and clings with moderate persistence, leaving a delicate trail of lacing down the glass. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with stone fruit and citrus notes from the two unusual hop varieties, Lilly and Petit Blanc, creating a gently fruity top note without aggressive hop character. Underlying the hops sits a soft, clean Malz sweetness with hints of honey and grain. The fermentation profile is restrained and refined, allowing the distinctive hop character to take center stage.

◐ Taste

Entry brings a crisp, light body with the fruity hop flavors immediately present and well-defined. The mid-palate remains elegant and restrained, balancing subtle Malz sweetness with the lively fruitiness without tipping toward heaviness. Bitterness is measured and supportive, never dominating, while the finish carries a touch of residual sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, clean and refreshing, with a lingering hint of fruit and honey. The aftertaste fades smoothly without any sharp or astringent edges.
