kegged up 5 gal of Honey Blonde Ale last week that is leaving the keg pretty quick via the wife.

most blonde ales i have tried, i never liked the way they tasted, so i created my own monster.

when i first made this last year, i put a pound of raw honey in the kettle at the end of the boil. the pure, simple sugar of honey made the abv jump and created a dry beer. i was looking for honey-type, sweet flavor. i quit using raw honey after that first batch and have gone with honey malt. i started out using a half pound, but am now up to a full pound. It sure smells good in the mash and after a week or so in the keg, the sweetness really turns on.

good lawn mower beer @ 5.7% abv.
