Crafty Bear Brewing Trade Secret
This Belgian Blond Ale presents a sophisticated balance of rounded grain sweetness and nuanced yeast character. The palate opens with gentle notes of soft caramelization and honey-like malt. This sweetness is artfully countered by the addition of Citra hops, which introduce a delicate citrus zest alongside classic earthy and spicy undertones. Fermentation contributes a mellow, subtle profile of orange and lemon esters with a whisper of peppery phenols. Finishing moderately dry with a clean, lingering warmth, it offers a smooth and approachable interpretation of the style that remains both flavorful and crisp, emphasizing bright citrus notes over heavy spice.
Appearance. Deep gold color (approx. 6 SRM). Displays a large, dense, and creamy white head with excellent retention and characteristic Belgian lacing. Generally very clear.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring grainy-sweet and slightly toasty malt notes with hints of caramelized sugar. The yeast profile is subtle yet complex, showcasing orange and lemon esters with a background of spicy-peppery phenols. Citra hops add a light citrus zest and earthy touch.
Taste. Initial impression of grainy-sweet malt and faint caramelized sugar or honey. Balanced by medium bitterness that allows the malt to remain slightly prominent. Hop flavors of light citrus zest, spice, and earthiness complement the orange-like yeast esters and spicy phenols. Finishes moderately dry and smooth with light alcohol presence in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with medium-high, bubbly carbonation that provides a mouth-filling sensation. Features a smooth, slightly creamy texture and a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
