Clear pale gold with a creamy white head and a soft lemon biscuits aroma. Smooth and creamy, biscuit malt with lemony notes, a kick of bitterness and a dryish bittersweet finish.

Rocky white head on a chill hazy pale straw coloured body. Grain, malt & cardboard aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a sharp back. Grain, biscuit, light malt & bubble gum tastes with a sharp tangy finish. Refreshing.

Bottle from the Bowland Beer Company, Clitheroe. Hazy golden-blonde with a small head. A little watery in texture but despite this its mild sweetness to an otherwise hoppy character makes it a very suppable and flavoursome 'blonde' styled ale at an easy strength, with a light fruitiness. It's very sessionable.
