La Filature

This Swiss Blonde Ale offers an approachable and refreshing experience, highlighted by the classic presence of Cascade hops. A soft, grainy malt backbone featuring notes of fresh bread and light biscuit provides a clean foundation. Because it is unfiltered and re-fermented on the lees, it exhibits a subtle yeast-derived complexity and a touch of orchard fruitiness. The Cascade hops introduce a signature bouquet of floral citrus and grapefruit zest that lingers delicately on the palate. It balances a gentle malt sweetness with a crisp, medium-dry finish, making for a highly drinkable pint that celebrates artisanal craft with nuanced hop character.

Appearance. SRM 3-6. Light yellow to gold in color. Unfiltered nature provides a slight haze to hazy appearance. Features a medium white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean fermentation profile. Grainy malt notes of bread and crackers are present. Hop character is low to moderate, featuring distinct floral and citrus grapefruit notes from the Cascade hops. Subtle fruity esters like pear are detectable due to the yeast refermentation.

Taste. Initial impression is a soft maltiness with flavors of bread and light biscuit. Hop flavor is moderate, showcasing floral and lemon-grapefruit qualities without being aggressive. Bitterness is medium-low, balancing the malt sweetness. The finish is medium-dry and clean with a faint, lingering floral hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is medium-high, enhanced by the bottle conditioning. No alcohol warmth or astringency is present.
