Can @ home. ABV according to the label is 4.8%. So ABV varies but this is a very big difference.. Anyway...Clear a bit pale golden color, average sized white head. Not a lot of aroma. Taste lightly malts, lightly a touch of hops, but tbh not a lot more. Although I must say the flavor is heavily impeded by the huge overcarbonation on this beer. Overall, I'm sorry to say, but it pretty much sucks.

Can at 4.8% from Bine & Vine. Pours very, very light gold with a transient white head. Aroma is more bready than anything. Med minus body. Flavor is a little fruity, likely with some citrus. Not much going on here. It's drinkable, but as so often the case with blonde ales I ask why bother? Better than Bud. Seems to have a bit of honey in it.

Pour is a clear light golden with a large white head. Aroma is some pils malt and a slight hop. Flavor is again more of a lager malt with some very minor hop. A bit bland but drinkable. The canned abv is 4.8%.

Keg at PP SB, 14/11/14. Golden with a moderate off white covering. Nose is pale malts, straw, grain husk, citric peel, bread notes. Taste comprises pale malt, more grain, lemon rind, faint hops. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Yawn - bland and tiresome to drink!
