Sinagoga Fixby Gold is a refreshing and approachable Blonde Ale that stands out as the most bitter offering from the brewery. It presents a beautiful deep gold hue with brilliant clarity. The sensory profile is led by a clean, grainy malt foundation with notes of fresh bread and biscuit. Despite its sessionable nature, it delivers a more assertive hop presence than is typical for the style, providing a firm, moderate bitterness that balances the soft malt sweetness. Floral and slightly spicy hop notes emerge on the palate, concluding in a crisp, medium-dry finish that emphasizes its refreshing, hop-forward character.
