This Blonde Ale presents a sophisticated sensory profile enhanced by the addition of concentrated white grape must and a curated selection of spices. Aromatically, it leads with vibrant citrus and delicate white flowers, underpinned by a soft, grainy base of barley and wheat malts. The appearance is a classic golden yellow with a slight haze and a dense, persistent white head. On the palate, the beer is refreshing and complex, blending bright citrus notes with a subtle vinous character and cereal sweetness. A balanced bitterness extends into a long, clean finish, making it a highly drinkable yet nuanced craft offering.
