Blonde Ale 4.8 º

Kinver Brewery

Kinver Brewery May Bug presents a refined, easy-drinking experience that bridges the gap between a traditional Blonde Ale and a German-style hybrid. Top-fermented but treated with the clean precision of a lager, it offers a soft, grainy malt foundation with nuances of fresh bread and a touch of honey. The use of German-style influences introduces a delicate floral and spicy hop presence, balancing the gentle malt sweetness. Being cask-conditioned, it possesses a remarkably smooth, creamy texture that enhances its approachable nature. Expect a clean fermentation profile with just a whisper of fruity esters, finishing crisp and refreshing.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant light gold (4 SRM) with a creamy, low to medium white head. Excellent clarity is maintained despite its cask-conditioned nature, showing fine lacing as the head recedes.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean, grainy-sweet malt character featuring notes of fresh bread and cracker. Low spicy and floral hop notes consistent with German-style varieties. Very low fruity esters of pear or apple; clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial soft maltiness provides a bready foundation with a hint of honey sweetness. Light floral and spicy hop flavors emerge mid-palate. Bitterness is medium-low, providing just enough balance to prevent cloying. The finish is medium-dry and clean with a short, grainy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, soft texture enhanced by the cask conditioning. Carbonation is moderate to low. No alcohol warmth is present, and the beer remains refreshingly crisp without any astringency.
