An American blonde ale brewed with five varieties of American and New Zealand hops. Light crystal malts and toasted malts lend a sweet bready malt character while the special hop mixture adds depth with citrus and melon flavors. A new experimental hop known as HBC 342 shines through to give a watermelon aroma. This beer is perfect for summer, clocking in at 5.4% ABV and 20 IBUs. Twenty five percent of the grain used in James was locally sourced from Valley Malt in Hadley. This beer was first released in July 2013. Due to the overwhelming popularity we will be bringing it back for the summer of 2014.
