Blønd Beyond

Tap to rate

Tropical, pine and resin notes come through in this modern pale, a multi-hop version of the ever-popular Blønd. Pale malts and oats form the base, and a medley of hops gives it a satisfying hit. At 4.0% it matches the strength of Blønd, the beer it grew out of.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
