Cloudy like a wheat beer, Blønd is a (relatively) low ABV session pint that packs in all the body, bitterness and tropical fruit flavour of a much bigger beer.

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Hazy yellow color, small white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly fruity, quite a lot of herbs or spices. Average body and carbonation. Don’t like it, too many herbs or spices.

Cask handpull at 2014 GBBF. Very cloudy murky orange with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is fresh flowery citrus, american hop. Flavour is grainy doughy malts, semi crisp, fresh citrus clean hop profile. With a touch of tropical fruit. Palate is medium bodied, doughy and grainy. Nice carbonation. I like the beer, needs a bit more finings.

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2014, Olympia, London. A hazy amber/golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, tropical fruit, tangerine aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, tropical fruit, tangerine, smooth and easy drinking. Really enjoyed this one.

Cask at GBBF 2014. It pours cloudy dirty blond with a thick white head. The nose is soft orange, tangerine, mango, brioche, bergamot and dough. The taste is dry, bitter, citric, orange peel, grapefruit, spice, bergamot, earthy, doughy, with a dry, citric finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Soft, smooth and pleasant bitterness. Very nice indeed.

On keg at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lovely apricot and some pine. Taste - oranges and apricots. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly balanced finish. Overall - tasty beer. The best I’ve had from Pilot so far.
