6oz waiting for a ferry with George. Appearance: almost clear with a white head. Aroma: malty, some smoky and flowery notes, Taste: along the same lines, malty, somewhat dirty, harsh hoppy bitterness. Overall: this is not good, sorry.

Clean, pale straw, good malt base. Not much hop but just balanced. I like it.

On tap. Pours amber with light head. Aromas of wet malts, grain and cardboard. Flavors follow same with additional bitter hops. Not much to write home about.

On tap at White Sails, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out crisp biscuity malt and a gentle honey-like sweetness. Flavour is along the same lines, with crisp biscuity malt and again, a subtle honey-like sweetness. Pleasant and crisp. Decent for a blonde.

Touch of skunk. Clear pale gold with a decent white head. Fruity esters and some skunk.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma is soft grain. Has decent medium gold liquid and minimal head. Flavour is adequate grains though middling. Mouthfeel is full enough, decent crispness. An okay blonde, nothing spectacular.
