Clear gloden pour with a small white head; aromas of honey, malts/grains, some herbs. Taste is pretty much the same, adding some fruity notes. Not bad - decent way to save the bees ;-)

My first tasting of a number of beers purchased at Amathus Soho on a trip to London. The 33 cl bottle says best before 21/05/22. No problem, making that date and room to spare. The pour goes into a hotel glass, a clear yellow with a white head settling to a skim. The scent is grain with some sweetness coming through. I get the taste as advertised, a bit of citrus early, grain and honey in the finish. Pleasant, even interesting in an innocuous style.

Can from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Blackley. In a new yellow design just saying 'Blonde Beer' but as the honey is prevalent throughout this brew it must be the same. It's strength is easy enough with a gentle sweetness, but its hops are enjoyable too. Golden coloured with a frothy head. Honey lingers in its aftertaste.
