Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of pine, malts, citrus and hints of orange. Taste is a little bitter but follows through on the flavours of the orange and the tropical fruits. Enjoyed this.
500ml bottle from Blakes of Hollow, Enniskillen - murky orange body with no head. Big tropical fruit nose, sharp grapefruit and kumquat taste, very bitter aftertaste. Nice enough.

Hazy pale blond colour with lasting head. Aroma of overripe banana and Belgian yeast. Sweet taste but the slightly spicy elements from the yeast add welcome complexity. This can stand up to many of the better Blond Ales from Belgium.
