I was all set to brew a porter but after downing one of the last few bottles of the original Skinny Blonde I figured I need to make some more of this easy drinking, fast disappearing, beer for the summer. As I liked it so much the way it was, I decided not to change much. The only changes are base malt is Golden Promise instead of Marris Otter and Pilsner malts, DME instead of LME, add a little bit of Carapils, and skip the dry hop addition but put the extra hops in the flameout addition instead. I’ve stuck with the single hops variety, Motueka, which tastes very nice in this.
