Bypass the lager and follow your nose to the malty aroma of Tod’s Blonde. Sip by sip, the flavours become more complex, building to a rush of bitterness that’ll have you returning in no time.

[50cl bottle from Morrison’s, Bracknell.] A pale amber pour with a thick cream head; malty caramel aroma; jammy in the mouth, but not too sweet; then a biscuity finish with a light herbal bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle from Old Shambles Tavern in York. Appearance - golden with a generous fluffy head. Clearly bottle conditioned. Nose - bread and more precisely cake. Taste - lemon sherbet and custard. Palate - light to medium bodied with a dry middle and end section. Overall - a little underwhelming.

500ml bottle conditioned: drank at home on 11th Sep 2015. Poured slowly into a UK pint sleeve. Straw blonde with a slight haze, on top a full white blanket of foam. Could have been a chill haze because I think I over cooled it. Not a lot going on in the nose or flavourings, refreshing enough, but lacks oomph and depth for a 5% ABV ale. Mild, or subtle hop presence depending on your stance, just a bit bland for me.
