Waka Blonde Summer Ale by Sunshine Brewery is a captivating golden ale that captures the essence of the warm season. With its inviting appearance, this beer showcases a light straw color and a fluffy white head that gradually dissipates, leaving a delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a delightful blend of citrus and tropical fruits, such as grapefruit, pineapple, and mango, complemented by floral notes of elderflower and honeysuckle, creating a delicate sweetness. Upon the first sip, the palate is greeted with a crisp and refreshing burst of citrusy flavors. Grapefruit and orange peel dominate the taste, harmoniously balanced by a subtle hint of pineapple. A delicate floral note adds a touch of elegance to the overall experience. The light and thirst-quenching body, coupled with a moderate level of carbonation, provides a refreshing effervescence. The finish is clean and crisp, with a lingering citrus and floral aftertaste. The Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka hops used in the brewing process contribute to the assertive citrusy and floral flavors, creating a harmonious balance without overwhelming the palate. Waka Blonde Summer Ale is a refreshing and flavorful craft beer that perfectly captures the spirit of summer. Its crisp citrusy flavors and delicate floral notes make it an ideal choice for warm-weather gatherings or any occasion that calls for a light and thirst-quenching brew.
