I forget what inspired us to brew this beer, but I was a little hesitant since most blonde ales I have tried are very sweet. While I don't mind that, I also don't want to drink a jolly rancher. This turned out very well. The candi sugar (from beets) did not make it overly sweet, but very drinkable. It was a little fruity and spicy from the hops. We will brew this again sometime in the future.
