This is a very session-able blonde ale, light and crisp with some subtle citrusy hop character and a nice mild bready malt profile. This is what we drink when we're drinking all day. At 4% you can have a few pints without being totally trashed, makes for great football watching beer.

Be sure to scale the base malt for your system's efficiency. I get in the mid-high 70's when doing ten gallon batches, and this recipe is scaled accordingly.
