Ska True Blonde Ale. 5.3 % ABV, 22 IBU. Ska Brewing, Durango, CO.
Ska likes the random verbiage around the top of the can, just like Oskar Blues and others. It's a thing. This time: "Bee. Float. Recycle. Ska-B-Q. Play. Recycle. Picnic. Rally. Recycle. Adopt. Noodlin'. Recycle. Indie." Okay, we get it, we get it. Recycle! Adopt! Ska-B-Q! Whatever that means....
Clear, bright golden, solid slab of ivory head.
In the nose: soft, faintly hoppy, slightly grainy, a little floral.
In the mouth: A touch of juicy. Lightly fruity. Smidge of hops. Modicum of malt. Smooth, light and tasty. Honey-is. Expertly drinkable. Very lean in the bitterness department, but holding in more than usual for the style. It's a much more substantial version than we normally see. And I don't mind that one bit. I can drink this one, and not complain too much
A crisp Blonde Ale. Golden in color, medium in body—she’s brewed with the help and the honey of Durango ’s Honeyville bees.
Light enough not to overwhelm tasty greens regardless of dressing. Works well with delicate fish. Pleasant accompaniment to lobster, clams, shrimp and crab – great w/ lobster bisque. Thirst quencher, works well with spicy/hot foods.
