This beer is easy to make, and it is an awesome beer for the upcoming spring. Its light in color with a gorgeous creamy white head, a pleasure to look at, it is just hoppy enough to add some flavor to a traditional Blonde but not overbearing, and has just enough ABV for those cooler spring nights. Let me know what you think and ENJOY!
