RENEGADE BLONDE

The Renegade Blonde is lively and dynamic akin to its creator. Brandon

Sieminski began brewing on his home stove-top, and rapidly moved

from a small operation into a full-blown brewing company in a handful

of years. His blonde, the Renegade, is a bottle conditioned Ale -- start-

ing with sharp flavor as a young brew, but moving toward a fruity flavor

after some time relaxing. It’s a dynamic, fresh taste that delivers some-

thing unique in every bottle.

A classic blonde ale has a lighter body and dry mouth finish. The

Renegade tips its hat to the classic, but has a character all its own. Dry

without being astringent, you won’t feel the need for a glass of water

after finishing. The body doesn’t feel heavy, but has enough character

to avoid the complaint some ales have of being watery. Strong charac-

ter and satisfying to drink. Stores well at 10°C but

shouldn’t be left on the shelf too long.

HOW IT LOOKSPours a pale yellow with a thick pillowy head that

remains prominent while drinking. The Renegade has

strong effervescence, bubbly in any glass.

HOW IT SMELLSThe strong, bitter hop aroma on the top, with toasty

malt hiding underneath. A hint of rind and bitter spice

peek out from the bottom of the profile. The fruity

scents are elusive in the aroma and in the taste. Take

a nice long inhale.

FOOD PAIRINGThe bitterness and toasty elements will pair well with

whitefish, and the lemon oils or juice that garnish it.

Fresh greens like spinach and butter lettuce can make

for a tasty side salad.

HOW IT TASTESThe crisp malt flavor and bitter tone dominate the

first taste of the Renegade -- masking the more

subdued flavors, but slow drinks will reveal them. The

subtle fruit tone is hiding somewhere in the back-

yard, coming through on some tastes and not others.

Let your bottle hang out in the cellar for a week to

leaven the hoppy flavor, so it won’t feel overwhelm-

ing. The crisp taste is refreshing and perfect for

relaxing on a hot patio or in front of a roaring fire.
