Dobre Blond Ale ze swiezym i aromatycznym chmielem. zapach jest kwiatowo-cytrusowy. W smaku takze chmiel. Slodowosc zaznaczona ale daleka i w tle. Chmielny smak ja przytlacza. Niezle to piwo jest goryczkowe, sadzilem ze to przynajmniej bitter. No ale jest sporo lepsze od niektorych swoich konkurentow, a nawet bitterow.

Lighter golden coloured ale, but with plenty of body and character. Has a mild bitterness and some fruitiness.

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with small, macropore to frothy, white head. Fruity aroma has a decent apple note, grainy and husky overtones. Taste is initially malty and minimally fruity, some husky notes come in, before bitter hop notes take completely over.

500ml bottle - refreshing little number with a good level of citrus and tropical notes. Little thin, but made up for it with the taste.

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol 7/05/10. Golden coloured with a decent white head. Sweet, malty aroma with some summer fruits. Flavour was similar with some butterscotch and apricot, leading to a dryish finish. Good.
