Collective Arts Saint of Circumstance

A go-to, easy drinking, any occasion blonde ale. We started by creating this tasty blonde ale using wheat for it’s lemony flavour notes and body and added Citra, Centennial and Amarillo hops. We took it to a whole new level by adding the zest of seasonal citrus.
The result, a remarkably refreshing and balanced blonde ale.

3.4 Can, thanks Fil! Hazy yellow body, white head. Citric hop in the aroma, showing some signs of oxidation. Interesting, pleasant lemony, citric taste, lemon-lime really, but still, on the gone side. Raising the scores a little from the actual experience, but this shows quite some promise and I'll very much gladly rerate it fresh ASAP.

3.4 Draught at Mikkeller & Friends. Clear golden coloured with a small white head. Fruity aroma of hops, hay and citrus. Fruity flavour of hay, citrus and hops. Hoppy finish.

3.6 On tap @ Ghetto Something. Aroma of cereals, biscuit, citrus zest and flowers. Pours clear golden color with rocky white head and average sparkling appearance. Tastes light sweet malty, faint honeyish, refreshing citrusy with some stone fruit and pretty bitter finish. Light to medium body, slick texture and average carbonation in palate. It’s pretty much unlike classic English blonde ales which is definitely a plus...

3.3 Tap at Hair of the Dog, Phrom Phong, Bangkok. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a frothy white head and some clingy lace. The aroma is light grassy, light tropical citrus, dry woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a crisp, buttery yeast, fruity, light floral, dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

3.1 Canette métallique. Couleur dorée voilée. Mousse généreuse qui tient bieng. Nez léger, un peu sur les grains, un peu sur le caramel, mais c'est vraiment subtile. Idem en bouche, ça tape surtout sur les grains. Faible amertume, carbo et corps juste comme il faut. Aucune trace citronnée ne transparaît, ni même les houblons évoqués. Bref, c'est une Pale Ale tout à fait classique mais néanmoins agréable.

3.1 Tap at Pi Altrincham. Citrus and herbal aroma, fresh, bit malty, honey and candy. Slightly hazy golden color with minimal sized white head. Citrus, honey and herbs taste. Thin body, average carbonation. Easy going.
