Notes

First batch sat in fermenter too long and was oxidized and just undrinkable. Brewed again early 2024. This batch is drinkable but not too interesting. Really light in body and flavors. Too much bitterness to be considered a light beer.
Maybe could be entered as a blonde ale or cream ale.
It's like a B- beer.

Next time either take it the direction of a light lager or cream ale and reduce bitterness try to make it crisper. Or add more body to make it more like a blonde ale.

updating recipe...homebrew shop gave flaked oats instead of oat malt. also adding acid malt for mash pH

=========== 11/8/2023=========
new recipe!

looking for some new blonde ales to brew and ran across this idea. from a little research it appears that irish blonde ale isnt actually a real style. like not in bjcp, but also there may not be any commercial examples either - doesnt exist. Appears to have been made up by Northern Brewer. But guess what the recipe sounds good and this batch (using irish ale yeast) can be used as a ramp up batch for another project ive been wanting to do for a few years, which is an imperial irish red ale aged on irish whisky and oak....
