Tarts are characteristically tangy, with a rich, creamy filling and fruit to balance the flavors. The light, flaky pastry that holds the custard adds a sweet, buttery characteristic, making this dessert the ultimate in deliciousness. The blonde ale is similar to a Kölsch, with a light, fruity essence that knocks this pastry recipe out of the park.
