A classic from Head Brewer Frank’s homebrewing roots, Abigale Blonde Ale features a crisp, champagne-like mouthfeel with just enough malt balance to give it substance. Light fruity nose and flavor, finishes slightly sweet and very refreshing.

Clear bright gold color with plenty of white foam in the Bushmills tumbler. Light aroma of cereal and flowers. Spritzy, light mouthfeel with a bitter finish.
Malt taste with a hint of honey. It's even a little nutty. There's a little resiny taste in the hops and plenty of bitterness in the aftertaste. Overall, a highly drinkable light ale that is well above the average for the Blonde Ale category. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Elizabeth Station in Bellingham.

Golden-honey in color with a creamy white head. Doughy and somewhat sweet, malt aroma. No discernible hop aroma. Earthy and mild citrus flavors leading into a moderately, zesty bitterness. Mouthfeel is crisp and drying. Piney/zesty flavor lingers to the next sip. Light and refreshing, yet pleasantly rounded.
