Can: Poured a blonde color ale with a medium size off-white foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of semi-sweet malt notes with some light dry hoppy notes. Taste is also a mix of light dry hoppy notes with some semi-sweet malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable blonde ale with a limited level of complexity.

Fairly clean with a few particles floating around. A light golden, bright yellow colour with an off-white frothy-bubble head, good stay and some foamy lacing streaks. Fresh pear malty aromas with eventually some herbal notes. The flavours are much of the same with hints of cereals. This is quite the beautiful, refreshing, fruity and malty Blonde ale that goes down nicely.
