This golden colored ale pours with a rich white head. A touch of wheat malt and a mixture of Cascade and Willamette hops give this easy-going blonde a crisp refreshing touch.

Can from Bierzwerg, Greven. As "Hop Valley Double-D Blonde". Aroma is fruity with sweetish citrus, malt, candied fruits, and a touch of caramel. Flavour is sweetish and lightly bitter. Light to medium weak body. On the dull side.

Can shared at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Cheers to Cloin. Pours clear yellow with a creamy, white head. The nose holds lemon, doughy pale malts and ginger. Medium sweet flavour with nips of dry straw, lemon, dough, white bread. Light bodied with average, creamy carbonation. Sweet finish with notes of lemon meringue, lightly bitter citrus peel. Decent sessioner.

Can. Misty golden. Moderate white head. Aroma & taste: pleasant hops, some malts. Floral, citrusy notes. Well-made. Shamelessly underrated.

12 oz can @ home. Been sitting in the fridge for a while, so not at its freshest. Slighty hazy, golden blonde color. White head with short retention. Aroma’s: Light malt & grain, light fruit. More so retronasal, a bit stale. Flavor is rather neutral, a bit stale/dusty, light sweet, grainish. Light bodied. Finish is short, slightly dry, a bit grainish, moderate bitter. Should retry with a fresher can/bottle.
