Hoppy Blonde AVA is a traditional golden ale with a continental lager kick. A mashup of the finest Marris Otter pale malts from the UK and Slovenian Bobek Hops cultivated in Alpine waters to create a real thirst quencher for those summer days.

Il gusto al naso va sul luppolo. L'intensità olfattiva è elevata e la continuità olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma voluminosa ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il perlage è composto da bollicine medie. Il colore è giallo dorato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è carico. L'intensità gustativa è elevata. La costanza gustativa è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di amaro. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. In bocca l'aroma riporta impressioni di miele, crosta di pane e frutta secca.

From the tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours crisp blonde, with white foam. Aroma is a delicate citrus, and some bread. Body is tendentially light, although it feels more than its alcohol level. Low carbonation. Taste is moderately bitter, plus some underlying sweetness. Finish is average. Some bitterness left behind.

Can at home in Hackney. Sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours clear yellow-gold with a frothy, white head. Crispy pale grains in the nose, biscuits, hay. Light sweet flavour with assertive husky and grassy bitterness, pale grains, lemon peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Somewhat dry and grassy in the finish, more husky bitterness, rind, grass. Faintly astringent. Not bad, but too bitter.
