33cl bottle from Beers of Europe: BBE February 2027, drank at home on 21st November 2024. Clean and clear old gold body, wispy off-white topping. Pleasant hop front with a sweet malty overtone, boozy but it became a little too sweet and 'metallic twangy' towards the finish. Really enjoyed the first few sips, fell away to being a headache inspired juice soon after.

Pretty much a clear deep gold beer, small bubbly cream colour head. Nose is redolent of malt and fruity esters. Light and semi dry palate, decent fine carbonation. Smooth if slightly dry pale malts. Good malt sweetness, feels like a little clean raw grain in here is as well. Ripe citrus underneath and avalanche of esters. Banana esters, generic fruity esters, bubblegum esters on the back end. Light and semi dry finish brings a little spice. Hmm, says it's an English blonde but you could swap that for Belgian and, I wouldn't know the difference. Amusing, if you like very estery beers.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of light booze, almond, bread, cream crackers. Taste has grassiness, dried mixed peel, boozy cake. Sweet hot finish.
