This Blonde Ale is one of our first, and most signature beers. This no-nonsense Golden Ale is always a hit, with a delicious malty honey-oat body, citrusy hops and a crisp, lightly bitter spicy finish. It’s a recipe that has, and will continue to, stand the test of time.

Bottle from Callans, at mum and dads, 06/06/16. Clear golden blonde with a decent white head that retains well. Nose is light citric peel, freshly cut grass, stra, bready notes. Taste comprises lemon zing, straw, light spice, faint white pepper, pale malts, toasted grain, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light grassy bitterness. Adequate golde ... probably the weakest of the offerings I’ve had from Brehon but ticks the style boxes non the less.

Draught at Against the Grain. Murky honey with a thin head, good lacing. Aroma is lightly malted caramel. Flavour is dry nutty, a little fizz, dry bitter caramel on a long dull finish. Nice
