Bottle from Martins. Light caramel with a thin head. Aroma is malted caramel. Flavour is grapefruit hop, tangy bitterness, butter on a grainy bread finish.

Bottle from Supervalu, Longford [200315]
Amber, some yeast haze, rather murky (maybe didn’t give enough time for beer to settle), thin white head, light lacing
Aroma of sweet malts, soft fruits, dab of butterscotch caramel, slight citrus
Taste of sweet caramel malts, slight butterscotch, bitter hops, dab of bitter zest, little fruit mainly bitter hops, fruits cramped by too much malt sweetness
Palate - Soft carb, medium body, fairly sweet, bitter hops. Finish is considerably bitter, long bit over bitter linger
Overall - Over malty for a blonde, seems over stuffed with malts and bittering hops. Didn’t get tropical or floral aromas. OK to drink, but a bit pricey at €4 a bottle
