Style Files: Episode 24 - Blonde Ale

In this episode Bob and I come back home for another crushable summer beer style. This week we drink and talk about the American Blonde Ale. One of the most approachable styles, a golden or blonde ale is an easy-drinking beer that is visually appealing and has no particularly dominating malt or hop characteristics. Rounded and smooth, it is an American classic known for its simplicity. Sometimes referred to as “golden ale.” These beers can have honey, spices and fruit added, and may be fermented with lager or ale yeast.
