Blonde Ale 5.2 º 42 IBU

Oppigårds Bryggeri

Oppigårds Golden Ale is a quintessential Blonde Ale that balances a clean, bready foundation with a multi-layered hop profile. The use of Pale ale, crystal, and caramel malt creates a pure malt flavor defined by biscuity notes and a subtle honeyed sweetness. The hop character is distinctive, integrating the floral notes of EK Goldings and the citrus lift of Cascade with the subtle berry depth of Pacific Gem. This results in an approachable, medium-bodied ale that delivers moderate bitterness and a crisp, refreshing finish. It serves as an excellent example of a well-crafted pub beer that highlights nuanced ingredients within a clean fermentation profile.

Appearance. Deep gold color (approximately 5-6 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Features a medium-sized, white head with good retention and light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a clean malt character of bread and light grain, plus a hint of caramel. The hop aroma is distinctive, blending floral notes, grapefruit citrus, and a touch of dark berry. Clean fermentation with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial soft maltiness with flavors of fresh bread and biscuit. The crystal and caramel malts provide a light sweetness without being heavy. Hop flavors mirror the aroma with floral and citrus accents. Bitterness is medium and well-balanced, leading to a medium-dry, clean finish with a short malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, well-rounded texture. Moderate carbonation provides a gentle, refreshing mouth-coating sensation. No noticeable alcohol warmth or astringency.
