Bottle at friends, 22nd April 16. Pours amber and slightly hazy. Aroma had a slight sourness. Taste is malt, sweet, slight sour, almost a slight Belgium blonde to it. OK

Bottle that Dad shared- cheers. Golden-amber with a thin white head and a fine but obvious fizz. Lemon and honey up front, lots of fresh grain following. Sweet but with just the right amount of bitterness to balance in the finish. Clean, crisp and tasty yet the grain gives a nice rustic homely feeling. For a supermarket brew this is pretty decent.

Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with Marko and hrabren. Clear golden coloured, small white head, whiff of fruit in the nose. Slightly perfumed also. Watery, weak fruity, discreet caramel and watery again. Not good.

0.5 l bottle from Pivoteka Zagreb. Shared with Marko and Ogi. Clear golden to dark golden with a small off-white head. Light toasty malty syrupy aroma, hints of dry fruits and grassy hops. Very malty, but unpleasant with some hops in the background. Abrupt finish. Below average.

Shared with Ogivlado and Hrabren. Full golden body, small white head. Strange sharp aroma, glue and malt, like cheap malt liquor, maybe cherry. Taste... same, glue, stale malt, damn, damn, damn... this actually tastes like a 10% shitty malt liquor but without the 10% and watery. Bitter? Ok. Without a doubt, the single worst blonde ale I’ve had the misfortune to taste in my life. Useless, unappealing.... just NO.

Pre GBBF tasting as Chris and Ruth’s. Clear gold beer, small white head. Palate is light with decent fine carbonation. Clean malts, mildly sweet. Nice lemony tang over dried fruits. Light floral finish. Yeah - it’s okay.
