The Strawberry Blonde Bride
Jun 2, 2010
Two cases of 22 oz. bombers are boxed up and ready for their trip to SC. There, my Strawberry blonde will be featured in some aspect or event of a friend's wedding this August. Packaging the beer was pretty exciting for me, and next comes the label, combining my design skills with my brewing skills!
We had a great time during the bottling, and I couldn't be happier with the beer. I tried a different method of adding the fruit this time around and wasn't too sure how it would turn out. I re-racked the blonde ale onto five pounds of fresh, mashed strawberries, when I normally add my fruit to the boil. In case I didn't get enough flavor or aroma I also bought some strawberry extract to add at bottling. Thankfully, we didn't have to use it. I would have liked slightly more strawberry flavor and aroma, but the level it was at was actually quite balanced with the malt profile. You couldn't miss the strawberry though, so I'm happy! It was a little like bottled summertime!
I'm a little bummed I have to give it all away, but am really happy to be giving someone a great product. Congrats Lauren and John!
