Our take on this classic style. An easy drinking and refreshing 3.9% blonde ale. Malt-forward.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid- to dark gold, clear with a full white head and a fair bit of lacing.atoma of straw, buttered toast, eggs bread. Taste is sweetish, malty and hay-y with light notes of citrus. Finish has a little bit more bitterness in it. Fine condition but I do not like these kinds of beers.

Cask at the Sandbar (Courier tap), Manchester, 26/01/24. Golden blonde with a just off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is soft malts, light bread dough, grass, hint of marshmallow. Taste comprises sweet notes, grass, melon, light fruit esters. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Okay cask offering if a touch sweet.

On tap at Brass Castle Taproom in Malton - Cleat yellow body, no head. Quite lifeless, but nice fresh notes making it an easy going tasty beer.

Cask at ORB, Darlington. Golden colour, white foam head leaving lacing and fruity yeasty aroma. Taste is malt, grainy, with yeasty notes, and mellow citrus fruity bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry yeasty light bitter finish. Quite OK

Cask-conditioned at the Ackhorne, York 22/7/2017. Golden in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Big, floral hop aroma, followed by a jarring contrast of heavy, sweet, malts, leading to a moderately dry finish. Got off to a good start, but tailed off.
