Description
Our Belgian-Style Blonde Ale will steal heart as the unfiltered golden hue seduces your taste buds with surprising smoothness. It’s delicately hopped with Styrian Golding and Celeia for medium aroma with a crisp and refreshing bite. The Belgian Yeast adds hints of fruity complexity, but be warned its mysterious charm will draw you in again and again.

Peace Tree Brewing Company’s Blonde Fatale is a wonderful Belgian Blonde Ale and is being evaluated as 2015 BJCP Category 25A. The upfront aroma has light fermentation phenolics and pear-like esters. There is a light sweet malt behind with a low pleasant alcohol to tie it all together. On first sip, the lovely phenolics jump out upfront followed by light peppery notes and pear-like esters. A very low spicy hop flavor pops in the middle and lingers softly on the tongue. Pleasant soft alcohol ties everything together. I would highly recommend this as a great summertime beer, though it would be great all year long!
