Aurochs Brewing

This refreshing Blonde Ale highlights the unique character of millet and quinoa, delivering a bright, gluten-free sensory experience. These alternative grains contribute a delicate, nutty, and slightly bready undertone that complements a vibrant tropical fruit profile. Expect an aromatic burst of papaya, pineapple, and ripe banana, while a crisp lemon zest provides a clean, citrusy counterpoint. Its profile is defined by a light, airy structure and a drying finish that emphasizes drinkability, making it an approachable yet complex interpretation of the style. The interplay of melon and citrus nuances provides a modern, fruit-forward edge to the traditionally simple Blonde Ale base.

Appearance. Pale gold (3-5 SRM). Pours with a moderate white head with fair retention and light lacing. Generally clear, though a very slight haze from the millet and quinoa may be present.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a distinct grainy and slightly nutty character. Pronounced tropical fruit notes feature prominently, specifically ripe papaya, pineapple, and subtle banana esters. A light, zesty lemon citrus note balances the sweet, bready grain profile.

Taste. Initial gentle, bready sweetness from the alternative grain base. The mid-palate is dominated by tropical fruit flavors, including melon and pineapple, with a lemon-like citrus brightness. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing balance without harshness. The finish is clean and relatively dry, with lingering notes of lemon and a slight nuttiness.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body, characteristic of gluten-free grains which provide a thinner, crisper texture. Carbonation is moderate to high, lending a refreshing spritz. Alcohol warmth is not perceived.
