I introduced Kane Brewing Company here a few weeks ago and talked about how great their IPA is. After a 14 mile bike ride from Monterey Beach to the Spirits in Pt. Pleasant and back, I now have two more growlers of Kane beers ready for review.
First, I'll start off with their Summer seasonal, Single Fin, a Belgian-style Blond ale. If you're a loyal B2B follower then you know that I really prefer hoppy bitter beers that pack a lot of punch, however I also enjoy finding lighter, easier to drink beers that are perfect for summer. Kane's Single Fin is definitely one of those. It poured a beautiful golden blonde color into my pint glass with a head that stood for a minute or two before fading out. The aroma was sweet malts with a slight wheat smell that seemed fitting for a warm day by the beach. Taste was a bit fruity at first with the malty sweetness being the strongest taste coming through. It finished with some surprising slight hops and was very dry, different from many other Belgian ales I have had. Overall a very solid summer beer that even gives hopheads like me a little love.
It will probably be hard to find this beer since Kane only made 20 barrels of it due to it being late in the summer, but it will bx available again early next summer. Stay tuned for my review of Kane's Rye Pale Ale, Afterglow.
