Pilot’s iconic Blønd goes bigger in every direction in collaboration with STF; a deep, biscuity malt foundation balances assertive Galaxy and Mosaic hops alongside the familiar bubblegum fruit-spice cocktail of a Belgian-style fermentation. Full-flavoured, well balanced and easy drinking.

Can from Against The Grain - canned on 20th June, enjoyed on 20th July. Hazy deep golden body with a few flecks beneath a white head that slowly fades. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of rhubarb, chalky lemon, sea salt and white bread. Flavour is similar to the aroma - lots of yeast, orange pith and a hoppy, biting finish. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. This is an excellent beer and a true collaboration; you can taste the classic Pilot Blønd and the salty/tangy yeast from STF’s Belgian inspired beers is present. It all comes together beautifully. My only niggle is the powdery flecks floating around.
