A challenge was put forth to brew a blonde ale with a butt load of hops, mostly from my using my beer recipe software incorrectly. It is a style notable for its easy drinking feel, brownish-yellow (very, very light on the brown) complexion, and malt forward taste. In a moment of inspiration (thanks nibbish) I set out to craft the recipe and initially came up with a brew utilizing 1.5 oz. of Simcoe hops for bittering, .5 oz. of Simcoe and 1.0 oz. of Amarillo for flavor. Sadly, a trip to the brewstore turned up empty of Simcoe, so I audibled to Columbus hops (14.4% alpha-acid) for bittering and flavor. So, in the end, my recipe looks as it does after the jump.
