A refreshing, easy-drinking Blonde Ale with a crisp palate.
Our Blonde Ale is yellow in appearance with a moderate bitterness. It sits in the Hybrid category of the BJCP Style Guidelines and is an ale version of a lager beer. It therefore ferments warm (23°C/73°F) with great efficiency with our ale yeast, but with the resulting taste profile being similar to that of a light lager.
Williams Warn no longer supply a 1.7kg Blonde Ale can and this recipe uses the Premium Lager can, which has the same contents instead. The difference in the recipe is down to using a different yeast to the Premium Lager recipe.
The yeast under the lid is an 11g pack of Nottingham ale yeast.
Original Gravity of 1.045 (11.25°P), fermented to a Final Gravity of about 1.011 (2.75°P), resulting in 4.5% alcohol by volume, 18 Bitterness Units and 3.5 SRM/7 EBC colour.
