This refreshing Summer Ale, inspired by the Galician coast, presents as a highly approachable Blonde Ale. At a sessionable 4% ABV, it emphasizes crisp drinkability and a clean profile. Delicate notes of grainy malt and soft bread provide a gentle foundation, complemented by a subtle, breezy hop character offering hints of citrus and floral meadows. The fermentation is exceptionally clean, ensuring the focus stays on the thirst-quenching balance between light sweetness and a mild, refined bitterness. It finishes medium-dry with a lingering sensation of fresh grain, making it an effortless and light-bodied choice for warm weather.
