Blondie: Europa is a refreshing Blonde Ale/Golden Ale crafted by the talented Yeastie Boys. With an alcohol content of 4.2%, this sessionable summer ale showcases the distinct influence of yeast on the flavor profile. Featuring a blend of pale and wheat malts, along with the aromatic Nelson Sauvin and NZ Cascade hops, Europa boasts a clean, crisp character. The German ale yeast used in this brew lends a subtle, balanced flavor, creating a light and easy-drinking experience. In contrast, the Yeastie Boys' Rapture ale employs a Belgian abbey yeast, which imparts a more pronounced fruity note to the same malt and hop combination. This side-by-side exploration of yeast's impact on a low-strength ale makes for an intriguing tasting journey.
