We all know that gentleman prefer blondes, but this is a different ball game. Easy on the eyes, but on the “heavy side” giving the 12,5% ABV. This original Blonde Beer is oak barrel aged for a very smooth finish and enlightens the slightly darker character, which makes it a true Dirty Blonde.

Draft. A dark amber beer with a huge lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of yeast, over ripe fruits, wood, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, alcohol, wood, candy sugar, malt, and dried fruits, leading to a dry finish.

Bottle. Light amber orange pour. Aroma of oaky vanilla, mild tart, orange peel, malt, fruity yeast esters and vineus white grape. Really nice. Taste has rich fruity yeast esters, oaky vanilla, vineus white grape, orange zest, mild tart, boozy sweet caramel and a boozy grapey finish. I like this a lot, love the combination of rich yeast esters, white grape, mild tart and oak vanilla.

A very mild gush on this one, nothing dramatic, just don’t take your eyes off it and have a glass ready! Clear amber beer with a good pale tan head. Palate is fluffy, mildly dry and has a light crispness. Nice malt base, sweetish malt cream with a mild caramel streak. A little semi ripe citrus under some funky white wine, very mild acid edge to it. Trace of wet barrel. Light finish. It’s only after a few mouthfuls you feel the double digit abv as a mildly warming linger. Nice job, everything hangs together well and it goes down easy.

Thick yellow-cream head, leaving some lace over fully hazy foxy redbrown beer. Caramel, syrup, wood, aldehydes and lots of fusels/higher alcohols, and more than a hint at balsamico. Sweet-sour flavour with a roasted-bitterish finish, if always with a syrupy undertone. Banana, caramel, toffee, (oak)wood, fusels & acids (lactic, acetic-. Chocolate/banana pralines; hint at cherry liqueur. Good carbonation, very light acidthinning, oily to nearly viscous. If she doesn't play too dirty, she's tasty... But she's more an auburn, yer blonde.
