Bella Blonde follows a recipe I first formulated as a homebrew with the objective of creating a thirst-quenching summer beer that still retained character and didn’t surrender to the banal.

It’s a straightforward beer with German malts and hops and a top fermenting yeast with high attenuation.
Under a compact and persistent head there’s a delicate aroma of honey and orange peel that combines with a hint of wine. It’s easy on the palate and has a veil of creaminess that makes it readily drinkable despite the relatively high alcohol level. It ends with only a slight bitterness.
