Clear golden pour, small white head. Aroma is very very grassy, with some light herbs and some pepper. Light melon and fresh cut grass. Nice mouth feel, solid carb. Finish is lightly bitter, with a big Green note note and some subtly spicy herbs and grasses. Pretty nice, but I was surprised the Nelson Sauvin didn’t empart more.

Can from the discount shelf at Westhill Service Station. It pours lightly hazy straw yellow with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, clean, donut peach, yellow plum, nectarine, twist of citrus, lemon curd and doughy white bread. The taste is quite crisp, pleasing bitterness, clean, pithy, zesty, lemon - lime, candied citrus peel, straw grass, yellow plum, peach, floral accents, slight darkness and crackery malt with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Pretty quenching and moreish. Decent.

Third of a pint alongside two other Canadian beers in the Boot on Sunday 25th August 2024. Light haze in the pale golden body, weak white wisp on top. Semi-sour grapefruit flavours dominated the taste, it didn't suit my palate at all, aroma was also sour citrussy in nature.

Keg @ The Boot, Wellington after a ride up the Wrekin with TMBB. Misty blonde, white head. Tasting a bit old and dusty unfortunately. Shame. Otherwise bears a clean, light body with a light blonde character. Rated kindly.

355ml can. (4.5% ABV) Pours a slightly hazy blonde with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy lacing. Sweet aroma of crackery pale malt, grapefruit, yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of crackery pale malt, grapefruit, lime, lemon, light grass and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Refreshing, crushable and full of flavour. Very citrusy.

On tap at Burdock, pours a hazy blonde with a medium white head. Aroma brings out dry biscuity malt with little else. Flavour is clean and unassuming, with biscuity malt, gentle hops, and light floral notes. Clean and easy. It's alright. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vermont Blond Ale - Citra on 05 Nov 2022 at 03:43 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5.

Bottle take-out from the brewery. Burdock Vermont Blonde 4.5% Cloudy light gold with a nice juicy bouquet. Light bodied dry and drinkable. Not too complex but fruity juicy dry goodness. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vermont Blond Ale - Citra on 22 Aug 2018 at 00:23 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.
