Timothy Taylor's

Blonde

REFRESHING SESSION ALE

Timothy Taylor's Blonde is our refreshing blonde beer, built around the purity of the very spring on which the brewery stands. Brewed with Golden Promise barley malt, Strisselspalt hops from Alsace, and UK-grown Cascade and Chinook hops.

It’s a refreshing session ale with floral and citrus aromas, hints of orange zest on the tongue followed by aromatic hop flavours to finish. It works beautifully with delicate seafood, chicken burgers, or scampi and tartare sauce.
