It is quite common to hear people commenting "I like blonde, golden, yellow beers...", in the end, for a long time industrial beers were the most accessible and they try to continue (somewhat similar) to the pattern of lager-style beers. The truth is that the color of the beer does not directly define its flavor, despite the fact that there are many similarities between them, many other factors during the preparation of the beer can change the final result such as adding different types of hops, different yeasts, even the ph of the water can change the final result.
What defines the color of the beer are the malts (in addition to also influencing the body and alcoholic strength of the beer), but it is important to explain that the malt It is not a cereal, it is the result of subjecting a certain cereal grain to a process called malting*. Base malts are widely used for "blonde beers", in Europe, the most common base malts are:
- Pilsner: is the lightest of all and the traditional choice for lager beers. Provides flavors of bread and honey.
- Pale: has a little more color and more complex flavors, with a repertoire ranging from sponge cake, biscuits or brioche.
