Cork and caged 75cl bottle, shared with my son Ben on 28th January 2025. Poured into two GBBF glasses (2009), bright and clean deep golden body, decent white crown on each. Belgian yeasty aroma and initial taste, herbal, spicey and very drinkable. This is a really good blonde in all aspects.

Very slow supping this one with my attention mainly on the World Bowls Championship. Paying attention this one is fairly bitter and floral.

Trying to watch both snooker and football at the same time with this one, but even without paying much attention to the beer it's a notably fruity effort with passion fruit prevalent in both around and taste.

October 2017: 500 ml clear bottle, from a Sainsbury Local in Whitton, London. ABV is 4.5%. Copper colour, large white head. Typical Shepherd Neame aroma of lightstruck hops, not unpleasant though. Also toffee notes. The flavour has also toffee notes, but is not very sweet. Hints of citrus. Moderate hops. Nice enough to drink.

75cl bottle from Sainsbury's and drunk at home. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Attractive aroma of yeast and hops. Some yeast esters giving peach and apricot. Then some light tropical fruits from the hops. Decent enough. Not sure the melange of fruit flavours are totally harmonious. But its OK.
