Helvick Gold Blonde Ale

ABV 4.9%

Black Rock
"A world away from your typical tasteless lager, this is a really interesting thirst-quenching beer with an astringent very dry finish, very distinctive hoppy fruits and good length. Delicious." - John Wilson, Irish Times Magazine 10th July 2010

This is a refreshing blonde ale generously hopped to give bitterness and aroma that packs a punch!

Our blonde ale is not a bland ale, there is a complexity at play here with a fruity aroma balanced by a hoppiness that makes it a slightly challenging but stilll quite easy to drink beer.

Helvick is a great summer's day drink, perfect for cracking out at the barbeque. Enjoy at cellar temperature (8-14°C) or cooler for a great warm weather thirst quencher. It's an excellent beer to pair with food and works particularly well with spicy food.

This and all our beers contain a vitamin-rich yeast sediment in the bottle which is a by-product of the natural carbonation that occurs in the bottle. To pour a clear pint, pour out in one go and leave the last drop in the bottle. However, this is purely for aesthetic reasons and the sediment is absolutely fine to drink.
