Beer Profile

Ballinger

Ballinger is a Blonde Ale with a delicate malt backbone featuring pale, aromatic, Munich, and Carapils malts that provide a soft, biscuity sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel. The hop blend of Ahtanum and Azacca adds subtle floral and citrus notes, complementing the gentle malt character without overpowering it. At 4.7% ABV and 20 IBU, this beer offers a balanced, approachable profile with light bitterness and a clean finish. Its pale golden color and moderate carbonation make it a refreshing choice that highlights nuanced, mild flavors and a crisp, easy-drinking nature.
