Enjoyed at the Loon. Pours a hazy light-golden colour with a white cap. Sweet malt nose with hay notes. Fruity malt taste with grain and grassy hops. Hints of coconut (from the oak, usually vanilla) and caramel in the finish with good bitterness. Dry mouthfeel. I was not expecting that much hop bitterness from a blond ale. More like a pale ale, but still pretty good.
