This Catalan Blonde Ale presents a brilliant golden hue, topped by a persistent white head. The aroma is defined by delicate, sweet notes of grain and malt, enriched by the inclusion of wheat flakes and oat flakes, while Cascade hops provide a subtle floral bouquet. On the palate, a soft maltiness leads, showcasing the smooth texture of the oats alongside a gentle wheat character. The hop profile is present yet restrained, offering light citrus and floral flavors with a low, clean bitterness. It is a refreshing, well-balanced pint with a medium-dry finish that emphasizes drinkability over intensity.
