Blandford Fly

◎ Aussehen

Blandford Fly presents a tawny to copper hue, bright and clear, with good translucency typical of the golden ale style. The head is cream-colored and moderate, with fair retention and light lacing down the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, creating a fine bead throughout the pour.

◌ Aroma

The nose is distinctly spicy and malty, with ginger asserting itself immediately. Beneath the spice lies a warm, toasted malz character with subtle toffee notes. The aroma is inviting rather than aggressive, with the spice balanced by a soft, honeyed sweetness.

◐ Geschmack

On the palate, ginger arrives with clear definition, cushioned by a pronounced toffee sweetness that tames the heat of the spice. The malz backbone is present and warming, contributing caramel and bread-like depth. Bitterness is restrained at 20 IBU, allowing the sweet-spicy interplay to dominate without sharp edges.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium in length, with the ginger-spice fading gradually into a soft, malty aftertaste. The sweetness lingers pleasantly, leaving no harsh drying sensation.
