Description:
This All Grain Belgian Blonde Ale is a super dry, extremely satisfying rendition of a classic style. Pear and pepper phenolics lovingly assault your taste buds, and give this beer a super complex flavor profile with a dry, crisp finish. This blonde is the favorite guest for weddings and summer outings, and has a way about her that converts light lager fanatics to her side. While clean and crisp, this home brew blonde is still deliciously complex, using Belgian Pale Ale malt as the canvas to allow your favorite Belgian style yeast strain to paint in highlights of fruit and spice, as well as a distinct crispness that pulls all of the flavor complexities together and makes this blonde the fan favorite. Brew this beer recipe kit for all of your events where there are varied beer drinkers, and nobody will be disappointed!

Maybe one of my favorite Belgians ever, this beer came about over a decade ago. As you know, when you’re a homebrewer all of your friends and family want you to make beer for their favorite occasions. Every time my family asked for beer for a wedding, this is what they got! A 7% blonde ale that is slightly fruity and drinks clean and crisp like an American Light lager. The funny part was that everyone would always drink it like it was the 4.7% beer that they were used to, so by the middle of any wedding, half of the beer drinkers were tuned up and on the dance floor! This is why we always call the Belgian Blonde the ‘Wedding Beer’! For those that don’t want the extra Belgian kick, this beer comes out just as delicious using WLP001, Wyeast 1056 or Imperial Flagship.
