Hooray!!
It’s spring time, so let’s kick this month off by celebrating the start of Spring with this pale ale from Kees called Spring Blossom!
A pleasant floral aroma greets you on the pour, with hints of citrus coming in behind. A slightly cloudy straw-yellow body with a nice white foam that lasts for a little while.
The flavour is all citrus and light fruits, with that floral character carrying through as well. The beer is light on the tongue, with fine little bubbles but really quite a soft carbonation.
WIth an easy bitterness that carries through into the finish, this beer is really a very easy drinker.
It’s a beer for a warm afternoon, sitting in the sun and enjoying the emerging leaves and flowers of early spring. As Kees says on the label, ‘a breeze of hoppiness in every can’.
