Blonde Ale

Easy drinking and highly approachable, our blonde ale has a balanced flavour and aroma with just enough carefully chosen hops to counter the malts sweetness.

Blonde ales were originally developed as an alternative to lagers in American craft breweries that did not have lagering capabilities, with this in mind blonde ales are the quintessential entry level craft beer due to their smooth easy drinking nature.

The hop character is typically low to medium and the malt profile is usually light and biscuity.

Some popular food options that would complement its clean, smooth and balanced flavour include:

• Light salads such as Caesar salad, mixed green salad, or a fruit salad. The beer’s crispness can complement the salad’s lightness and acidity.
• Seafood dishes such as grilled or fried fish, shrimp, or crab cakes. The beer’s complements the seafood’s delicate flavours and balance out any oiliness.
• Fried foods such as French fries, onion rings, or fried chicken. The beer’s flavours can balance out the fried foods’ oiliness and bring out their flavours.
• Spicy foods, such as Mexican cuisine, the beer’s clean and crisp taste can balance out the heat and spice.
• Creamy cheeses such as brie, camembert, or feta. The creamy texture and nutty or tangy flavours of these cheeses complement the beer’s smoothness and bring out its best qualities.
