Cask stillage at the Solihull CAMRA festival 2014. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a bubbly white head. The aroma is toffee caramel citrus. The flavour is light bitter sweet with a smooth sweet Ovaltine malt citrus hop bitter palate. Moderate to light carbonation with soft carbonation. I don’t for the life of me know why this beer has "blonde" in the name. A great beer all the same though, but it might get a little sickly over a session.
