Our Chelsea Blonde is built on a base of extra pale malts that allow a unique medley of gooseberry, grapefruit, lychee and lime to fully express itself. With jumping floral undertones, and extra wheat for body, this charismatic beer offers a remarkable breadth of flavour and a discrete, citrus based palate.

33cl can, partagée avec la BXL tasting crew, merci Pierre T. Dorée, col blanc léger. Arôme au nez fin houblonné avec un parfum US sorte de C hops que je suppose être Cascade offrant de fines effluves d’agrumes. Grains percent en rétro-nasal sur un bouquet très UK. Palais est malté, pâle et pils, sec sur la fin avec un léger fleuri, fruité et agrumes avec un penchant américain restant léger. Facile à boire.

Cask pint on 18th Nov 2016 in The Paxton (West Norwood) and a keg half-pint at the brewery on 19th Nov 2016. Both golden, clear pours with white heads: keg version a bit more carbonated as you’d expect. Floral nose with a tropical fruit leaning, citrus flavoured with both grapefruit and pineapple to the fore. Liked it in both forms.

Can at the Quayside Pub, Whitstable. Poured a light straw colour with a frothy broken white head. The aroma is yeast, citrus, light malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a citrus fruit, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. The can was nice. The beer was average.

Bottle. Appearance - golden with a decent thin head. Nose - floral with light citrus. Taste - lemon and meadow flowers. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid plus version of the style.

Half, cask at Scottish Stores, Kings Cross. A filmy layer to clear golden body. Moderate fruit hoppy small, notes of ripe citrus. Mid-sweet fruity flavours, moments of pineapple and grapefruit bitterness towards the ending. Thirst quenching. True to the style, more or less (London 10.04.2016).

Bottled. Slightly hazy yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is bready, some floral, grassy and mild wooden notes to it. Flavour is rather similar with some mild sweet malts to it as well. Quite standard golden ale, which is inoffensive in any way. 5 3 5 3 (January 2016)
