Pelican Brewing Company, which holds the honour of being the only beach-front brew pub in the state of Oregon, has welcomed the arrival of the warmer summer months with the introduction of the 'Sunrise Surfer Blonde Ale.'
This particular blonde ale is visually tempting due to its bright yellow color. Upon closer examination, the beer continues to tantalize your sense due to its floral aroma. Upon first sip, the noticeably refreshing and unobtrusive notes of Pilsner malt can be detected, with the golden ale then giving way to a welcoming finish that makes it ideal as a carefree summertime sipper whether at home or out by the pool or at the BBQ.
“With Sunrise Surfer, we wanted to create a beer that can be enjoyed anytime you’re in the mood for something bright and refreshing," observed Pelican's brewmaster Darron Welch. "Flavorful, aromatic and delightfully quaffable, Sunrise Surfer has a modest alcohol content to make sure you are ready for tomorrow’s sunrise."
