I went to Los Angeles in 2024 and tried Pizza Port Brewing's California honey blonde ale. I don't remember too much about it, unfortunately, but I did enjoy it. Inspired, I came up with this recipe, based on details provided on their web site. This is a good beer, but it's hazy, whereas the actual beer is pretty clear. I think the wheat in mine accounts for the haze. Also, I think the real beer is a little more malty than mine. Mine has a little too much hop flavor, so I would cut back the Hallertau Blanc hops to 1 oz.
Recipe for 5 gallons:
6.25 lb pale 2 row
1.2 lb honey
.25 lb red wheat
.25 crystal 20
1 oz Mt. Hood hops (5.2 AA) at 45 minutes
2 oz Hallertau Blanc (8.7 AA) at 2 minutes
Omega Kolsch II yeast
