Dive into this light, bright and racy blonde and a biscuity malt backbone quickly yields to a hopilicious hit of grapefruit and spicy pine and a wash of pleasant bitterness, flowing in waves from a Hercules of the hop world, Chinook. Don’t be fooled by its lower 4.0% ABV; this punchy blonde throws a hook that’s capable of delivering a blow against stronger beers whilst allowing you to enjoy a longer session. Win win.
Aroma: Pine forest washed with exotic spice, grapefruit peel.
Flavour: Zippy grapefruit, a lush resinous pine punch, a gratifying grip of clean bitterness to finish.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a big lively head. Nose - caramel biscuits. Taste - light ash, more caramel biscuits. Palate - light bodied and lightly astringent on the finish. Overall - not really a modern style blonde. A bit like a cream ale.

Can from Ales by Mail shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light malt. Taste is astringent. Over-poweringly so. Gets in the way of any other flavour. Not great.

Can. Hazy golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have some slightly skunky and stale hops. Flavour is a bit bland and watery too.
