Flat 12 Bierwerks- Bloody Blonde (Tapping Party)



Bloody Blonde
ABV:5.5%
IBU: 25
Coloring: Golden orange

Our visit to Flat 12 came on their tapping party for their new beer called the Bloody Blonde.  And, as far as beer and tapping parties go, RT and I rarely miss the opportunity to try something new.  This wheat beer is brewed with blood oranges, which is a very tart (almost like grapefruit) flavor.  The brewing process yields a very golden orange color as evidenced in the above picture.

This beer yields a decent citrus flavor without having a very wheat-y taste too it.  You can certainly detect the blood oranges in its aroma and flavor.  It is not very bitter at all, and in fact has a very crisp taste to it.  It wasn't nearly as sweet as I initially thought it would be, but definitely leaves a sweet aftertaste.  If you are a wheat beer drinker, this would certainly be a great new concoction to try out.  Grab a pint, fill a growler, or just taste a sample... you really can't go wrong with this new Bloody Blonde.
