Cask @ Jubilee Refreshment Rooms, Sowerby Bridge. A clear, paler golden ale with a very thin head. Has a slightly bushy-floral taste with a more sugary-sweet aroma. There’s some sugar in its aftertaste.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with a thin head that falls away quickly. Nose - struck match and oranges. Some malt in the background. Taste - burnt oranges, dry malt in the background. Palate - light to medium bodied, with a tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - decent enough. A reason to have another, I’d say!

There are 37 beers currently on Ratebeer with the name Blonde bombshell, and I’ll bet they all have the same kind of cartoonish buxom wench on the label/pumpclip. Would it be too much to ask for brewers to move away from tedious sexist stereotyping? Anyway, beer is pale yellow, no head. Lemon, biscuit. Light sweet finish. Not much going on.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber with some head. Nose - stewed apple, maybe some malt and butter. Taste - malt and butter, not much fruit. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry finish which isn’t necessarily that pleasant. Overall - a bit hum drum!

Cask @ New Oxford, Manchester. Copper-amber with a very thin head. Some hops but its malts are the more slightly dominant character. Medium-bodied with some very small sweet grain notes evident.
