Blonde

Big Timber's Blonde has this clean, almost polished feel—like they knew exactly what they were making and nailed it. You get that classic blonde sweetness but it doesn't linger or cloy; it just moves through with a dry finish that makes you reach for another sip. At 4% ABV, it feels built for session drinking, which means you're thinking about the beer itself more than the alcohol. This is what happens when a brewery respects the style instead of trying to reinvent it.

Melyssa

Melyssa has more architecture underneath. That extra percentage of ABV gives it a rounder mouthfeel—you notice the beer more when you drink it, not in a heavy way, but in a way that suggests there's something actually going on. The same 15 IBU means the hops are playing a supporting role, but the slightly higher ABV makes the grain work harder, so you get a bit more malt backbone than you'd expect from the style. It's still approachable, but it's not pretending to be lighter than it is.
