Vacant Gesture Blonde Ale All Grain Recipe Kit

Vacant Gesture Blonde Ale All Grain Recipe Kit is our tribute to Retford's finest beer, available now at Worcester Hop Shop. This sessionable blonde ale delivers a flavorful punch while maintaining an easy-drinking 3.8% ABV. Late additions of Mosaic hops enhance the aroma, bringing the beer to life and creating a vibrant, lingering taste that keeps you coming back for more. This kit lets you craft a beer that dances on the tongue and embodies quality and tradition. Perfect for homebrewers seeking a smooth, refreshing ale with character.
 
Updated in 2026 to include additional hops and the traditional double dry hop bringing this more inline with the original recipe.
