Description

Our blonde ale comes packed with a flavor profile that has a soft honey sweetness on toasty warm bread. Its golden caramel color fills you with a warming sensation like the sun on a spring afternoon. At an ABV of 4.8% this is an easy afternoon cup of cheer.

Name Origin

Named after a famous climbing route on Temple Crag. The actual name is Venusian Blind Arete. It is in reference to the planet Venus, and is probably a play on Venetian blinds.
