Blonde Ale 4.1 º

Icarus Brewing

Private Beach is a refreshing Blonde Ale that emphasizes a clean, approachable malt base of American 2 Row Barley. The sensory profile is defined by a delicate interplay of modern hops, featuring the bright citrus of Citra alongside the distinctive lime zest of Motukea and the vibrant tropical stone fruit notes of Nectaron. It opens with a crisp, grainy sweetness that quickly yields to layers of peach, pineapple, and lemon peel. This sessionable beer remains light on the palate, offering a highly balanced experience where the subtle hop bitterness complements the dry, clean finish without overwhelming the delicate malt character.

Appearance. Straw to light gold in color (3-5 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate, white head showing fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean, grainy-sweet malt aroma from the American 2 Row Barley. Hop character is prominent with notes of lime zest, tropical passion fruit, and peach from the Motukea and Nectaron. A low citrus note from Citra is present. Clean fermentation profile with very low esters.

Taste. Initial soft maltiness with bread and cracker flavors. Hop flavors are expressive, showing citrus, lime, and stone fruit qualities. Medium-low bitterness provides balance without being aggressive. Finishes medium-dry and clean with a light, lingering impression of tropical fruit and grainy malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation that creates a crisp, refreshing sensation. Smooth without any astringency and a very subtle, well-integrated alcohol presence.
