Bent Paddle Paddle Break Blonde


Bent Paddle Belgian-Style Blonde Ale Paddle Break Blonde. Paddle Responsibly. Brewed and packaged by Bent Paddle Brewing Company, Duluth, MN. Contains: Water, hops, malt, yeast. 6.0% Alc./Vol.

Appearance: golden and clear, with a slim, but staying ivory head.

Aroma: lightly spicy, mostly malt, low hop bitterness. Nice. Sure.

Taste: Again the spice, the light malt, the crisp crackers and the slight citrus. That special Belgian character is here, too, with just enough of a spicy/fruity bite to keep things interesting, with just a little bit of a funky twist in it. You know what? Belgian blondes are pretty dang tasty, while being refreshingly easy-drinking.

I like the Belgian blonde as a summer seasonal, as it's certainly a break from the wit bier or the hefe weizen or the pale ale. This one is delicious and delightful. yet another success from Bent Paddle.

"A Belgian-style blonde ale perfect for an adventure amidst the lakes and scenery of the backcountry. This blonde balances hints of citrus and Belgian yeast much like you balance a canoe on your shoulders. Effortlessly."

Okay. Sure. Good beer, though, go out and drink some.
