Bumper sits at the softer end of the Vandestreek range. Where the IPAs go hard on hop character, this one tilts toward gentle accessibility: a clear gold pour at EBC 12, with light citrus and floral notes on the nose and a mild barley malt sweetness underneath. The coriander seed and citrus peel come through as a subtle spice note in the mid-palate, giving the beer some personality without competing with the Goldings hops. The bitterness is earthy rather than sharp, and the overall balance leans sweet. It's not cloying, but it's not dry either. The finish is brief and clean. A straightforward blond that does what it says.
