New Glarus Home Town Blonde

From New Glarus – Embrace a classic! Hometown Blonde is an Old World style pilsner, assertively hopped with four premium hop varieties. Tettnanger, Saaz, Styrian Golding and Strisselpalt varieties all grace this German-style brew with the complex character you enjoy in a classic pilsner.

New Glarus Brewing – New Glarus Home Town Blonde – 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 4.8% abv.

Appearance: Pours a hazy bright yellow gold with a fluffy white head.

Aroma:  From a good yard away you can smell a huge perfumy Euro hop nose. Upon closer inspection is biscuit like malt as well.

Taste:  Light dry biscuit malt with a nice grassy earthy hop finish. Finishes crisp and clean.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with lively carbonation.

Overall: Holy smokes, another clean as can be lager from New Glarus.  Even as an crazy obsessed hop loving IPA head, I wish someone on the west coast could touch this excellence in the craft lager space.
