Sailing alongside the legendary Martin’s Pale Ale is now Martins Blond Ale. The splendid yellow and gold label hides treasure in the form of a special light ale, with a 6% alcohol content and a unique taste.

Session beer made at Palm, but I’m not sure it is still produced now. Warm golden blonde colour and light fruitiness, malt sweetishness, bit metallic, thinnish mouthfeel, insufficient hops in the finish. Rather bland actually, I had many better golden ales from the Anglo-Saxon world, where they were invented. Forgettable.

On tap. Dark golden with white head, creamy, that quickly diminishes in a fine layer. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Flavour is fruity, bready, spicy, sweet at the beginning with a final moderate bittery in the final, dense on palate. Body is full. Carbonation is soft. Texture is oily.

Das Bier riecht und schmeckt feuchtig, dabei aber nicht wie bei vielen anderen süß. Die leicht alkoholische Note, die später ins Herbe umschlägt, stört mich kaum. Das Bier ist insgesamt nur im Mittelteil würzig, besonders im Nachgeschmack hätte dies aber nicht geschadet, da dort nur ab und an ein malziges Aroma vorbeischaut. Ein sehr ausgewogenes, leider auch teils wässriges Bier... Test vom 15.9.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,10,10,9,8,11 - 9,85

(Bottle 33 cl) Pale clear amber. Subdued lightly creamy head. Pronounced ale-notes, fruit and light sweet caramel. A quite decent blond ale without being exactly thrilling. 180305

Frothy, white head, fairly lacing and mostly diminishing. Hoppy aroma (citrus, spices). Lightly bitter initial flavour, lightly bitter finish. Actually, imho the flavour/palate is quite flat.

Bottled. Clear golden apperance. Light raisiny aroma. Fruity with clean mouthfeel. Unremerkable.

Old gold colour. Very pearly to thick white head. Caramel nose, something herbal, breath-taking, even vaguely reminiscent of patchouli. Bitterish taste around caramel. Bitter is not carried by hops. Slight flavour, which reminds me somehow of old hops. Rather light bodied. Aftertaste more like burnt caramel. John Martin’s – ales for the masses.
