Golden Fruited Sour (Blonde Ale | 18A)

Golden Fruited Sour (Blonde Ale 18A)

This recipe is the base receipe I use for all of my fruited sour beers. It’s essentially an American Blonde Ale with Belgian and Lambic Blend yeast. It’s very simple and works well to showcase fruit.

Typically this beer is aged for a year, than an additional 3 months on fruit before being bottled and conditioned.
