Yakka Blonde

Spain·Belgian Blonde Ale
Tap to rate

Golden, clean and fresh, with medium body, a light fruitiness and a balance that is neither too bitter nor too sweet. Orange peel and orange blossom add a fresh, aromatic touch that the brewery calls Mediterranean and rooted in the huerta. It is brewed gluten-free. The blurb sends it off with sirens' songs, contemplation and holy days.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bright citrus and a clean, refreshing character that carries through the mid-palate. The malt backbone is light and smooth, providing just enough sweetness to balance the moderate bitterness. Orange blossom persists on the tongue, while the 28 IBU keeps the finish dry without harshness.
