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.

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hoppy, fruity, grassy and also has some floral hops. Flavour is quite much the same with the focus on the grass. Not very exciting.

Cask@GBBF. Clear yellow color, small white head. Lemony dishwater cleanser aroma, some "hard water", minerals. Sweet lime-sugar flavor. Some lemony bitterness in the aftertaste. Quite light and harsh, woody notes.

Bottled. A hazy orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with primary notes of caramel, but also lighter notes of spices and fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit, leading to a dry wheaty end.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2007. A Belgian English beer? Hazy gold, lasting off white head. Thin, dull, no great aroma. Odd yeast. Some odd yeast and an empty finish.

[i] Bottle, this was as Suma Long Wall Mouse, picked up from delicatessan shop in Leominster [/i] When I saw this was brewed by a Dutch brewer my thoughts immediately were that this was brewed by Anglo Dutch. Poured hazy warm golden colour vanilla on the nose with some hops. Quite refreshing vanilla once again showing itself, slightly dry but a touch sweet with malts also at the fore. This was very nice and suprsied me, much better than the Suma stout I’d just had.
