This 5% ABV blonde ale is full of hop flavor.  Cascade and Simcoe hops provide citrus, grapefuit, floral, and pine flavors and aromas.  American 2 Row Malt, Munich Malt, and Crystal 10L malt provide light malt flavors that let the hops shine through.  This ale is heavier in hop bitterness and flavor than most blonde ales, but lighter than most pale ales.
