This refreshing Blonde Ale is an approachable summer specialty, defined by its bright infusion of real lemon juice. The base offers a soft, grainy malt sweetness with hints of white bread, providing a clean canvas for the dominant citrus character. A moderate lemon zest aroma leads into a crisp palate where the fruit’s natural acidity complements a light floral hop presence. Finishes remarkably clean and dry, making it a highly sessionable choice. The 4.7% ABV ensures a light, effortless experience that balances the zesty lemon brightness against a subtle, cracker-like malt backbone and high carbonation.
