First brewed in 2007 this popular 4.0% Blonde Ale is rapidly gaining rave reviews from beer aficionados far and wide. A tasty bitter stuff indeed!
This gorgeous blonde ale is overlaid with a lovely citrus aroma, a crisp flavour with hints of grapefruit.

bottle from a delicatessen in Ross-on-Wye. Hazy golden colour, small white head. Citrusy nose. Light-bodied, malty with lots of fruity flavours and lovely citrusy hop flavours. A bit too light (thin?) perhaps.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden coloured with slight carbonation and a moderate, white head. Aroma of orange blossoms with a touch of sweet malt. Easy drinking with sweet malts, apricots and a dry citrus finish. Good.

Cask handpull at Thomas Ingoldsby, JDW, Canterbury. Copper colour with disappearing head. Aroma of diacetyl. Hard buttery aroma. Some bitterness on end, but ultimately poor due to the diacetyl. 1.8/5 Re-rate, bottle from Sainsbury during beer festival . Clear darkish gold, thin white head. Some fruit salad and hop aroma. Vague Cascades. Biscuity malts. Biscuity pale malts here are the best thing about this. Really good digestive biscuit hints. Some ok fruit and some slightly biting hops. Given my previous rating this was a hell of a lot better than I was expecting. Love the biscuit malt and slight aggressive hop. More my kind of beer.
