Pour is a murky looking yellow with no head at all. Aroma is super sweet with notes of honey and somewhat floral. Flavor is a bit grassy with some dry malts showing up but nothing to make this something to look for. In the end too watery and bland.

Golden colour, small white head. It’s made like traditional Belgian blonde ales; richter and better balanced than the average UK blonde ale. Grassy hops and fruits. Nice one.
