This blonde ale gets its complex malt character from several specialty malts and a touch of wheat, balanced with just the right amount of fruity hop flavour.

Bottle at the Stonehouse, Black Rock, 22/09/18. Golden blonde with a decent off white cap. Nose is grassy, straw, grains, faint lemon, dusty stewed fruits ... not great. Taste comprises light orange, grains, toasted malts, grassy, light herb, faint spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with an astringent bitter close. Low end for the style ... not great.
