This is an easy beer recipe for a crowd-pleasing pint. This Blonde Ale recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Blonde Ale, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The American Blonde Ale is the friendly face of the craft taproom: pale, clean, and easy to drink, meant to welcome newcomers without demanding much of them. It grew out of breweries wanting a house beer that could sit next to mass-market lagers while still tasting like something made with care.

Expect a light gold color, a soft bready malt base, and just enough hop to keep it from turning sweet. A single addition of Cascade lends a gentle citrus and floral note. At 4.2% it is a lawnmower beer in the best sense, refreshing and undemanding, the kind of thing you brew a lot of and never tire of.
