Bottle picked up at the Abbey shop. Almost clear (which is surprising given the amount of sediment in the bottle) dark copper colour. Slim swirl of beige foam. Nose has lots of caramel. A tad meaty and savoury at first although that does subside significantly. Dark ripe vine fruit. Some chestnut honey. Lesser notes of earthy hedgerow leafy hop. Taste is pretty sweet with a nicely rounded earthy bitterness. Super smooth overall. Bitterness ramps up on the finish. Tasty gear in great nick.

Bottle picked up at the brewery shop. Hazed deep orange gold. Slim dense lasting white foam. Looks good. Nose is yeasty and bready. Fresh grain. Lightly spicy peppery hop notes. Soft fruity esters. Taste is light sweet with a decent pop of spicy leafy earthy hop bitterness. Surprisingly bitter in fact as it goes along. Nice creamy mozzarella and drinks very easily. The bitterness carries on throughout. Great stuff. Loads of flavour and in great nick.

Pour is a cloudy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is sweet fruity esters. Flavor is more of a dry cracker malt. Probably some maris otter malt in here to make this more "English". Decent but not worth the almost $7 price point for one bottle.

Hazy gold in color with a two-finger head. Aroma is hay, and straw. Taste is also hay, straw and and leans to the malty side with a slight sweet finish.

Bottle from Beer On The Wall, Park Ridge, IL. Pours cloudy dark yellow with a large foamy off-white head, malt aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter malty taste, faint honey, grassy hops, faint vanilla, smooth body, long finish. Solid blond ale, nothing special.

Bottle. Spicy yeast aroma with notes of pear, citrus, bready malt, grainy malt and grassy hops. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and lacing. Starts with pear, bready malt and grainy malt flavors. Finishes dry and crisp with citrus, spicy yeast and grassy hop flavors. Quite nice.

Bottle @ Herøya. Unclear golden body under a white head. Aroma of pale malt, grain, citric fruits and a slightly herbal touch. Refreshing taste, pale malt, grain, light citric fruity, some generic fruits, slightly spicy and moderate bitterness. Balanced body with a fine, refreshing aftertaste. Nothing close to a Belgium blond or trappist beer, but sure a fine beer within the blond/golden ale style.

Cloudy deep gold with a one finger tall off-white frothy head of mediocre retention. Biscuit malt, vegetal, earthy, herbal hop. Oak barrel. Distant esters. Medium dry. Moderate still lingering hop bitterness. Not bad.
