Bottled (from K Citymarket Lielahti, Tampere), 4.5 %. Golden colour, mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is fruits, bread, mild grainy and wooden notes as well as quite a nice big herbal touch. Flavour is fruity, floral, grainy and mildly earthy. Big time hoppy floral fiinish. No haze noted in colour even though pouring all the bottle contents in. A "lager" that tasted quite much like a golden ale... The commercial description on the bottle says: "A premium quality blonde beer with a light biscuit palate and a fresh, grassy aroma". Kind of works, but if this pretends to be a lager (As the RB description says) I say FAIL. Is this a different brew from the original Organic Blonde?

50 cl bottle (4,5%) @ home, BBE 03/2013
Aroma is sweetish with fruits, grain, some toffee and hay. Flavour is fruity with toffee, some grain and hay. This feels like a hybrid with fruits from an ale and grainy feeling from a lager. Good.

Keg from The Other Place. Clear golden body with a medium white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grain and cereal. The flavour is clean and moreish with a hint of boiled vegetables. Thin body with a watery mouthfeel. Nice fizz. Very refreshing and and drinkable.

Bottle from Tesco
Appearance Very light straw...clear...frothy white head..some lacing
Aroma Light - grassy hops...hint of herbal hop..light straw malt
Taste Light bitter grassy hops...background of light sweet pale malt...simple beer but flavour reasonably good
Palate soft carb...thin body. Finish - same as main flavour, light bitter, bit of a zing on the palate.
Overall OK blond ale, nothing wrong with it but rather plain. More of a lager-golden ale hybrid. Better from the bottle, forget it on keg.

50cl Bottle. Pours golden with gentle carbonation and some nice lace. The nose has some gentle oatmeal and subtle flower aromas. The taste is sweet porridge. The palate is medium in structure, has a persistent texture and it has a palate-cleansing finish. Overall, while this doesnβt blow you away, itβs a beer I love on draught and bottle and have been known to sink several
