Light malt aroma, some fruity hops also, amber, small white head. Taste is a decent malt, bready, buttery too. Crisp, clean, a snappy little drinker. Good.

Sept 2006: First time I have had the bottled version. Different animal to the cask beer I drink when in Southwold.
This blonde beer should be cooled before serving, which is unusual for a British beer. The New World hops Chinook and Columbus give the beer its name.
Light and refreshing, it is, but the bottle says citrus and grapefruit aromas, not sure I got those, but overall, a fine beer for a hot sunny day.

500ml bottle – drunk chilled as instructed on bottle – strong flora and fruit, quite highly carbonated – chilling does knock back the aroma a bit. Sweet taste and drinkable if not entirely memorable. Nice enough.

Perhaps I’m being overly generous, but I rather like it. It’s by no means a world-beater, but as a session beer it’s certainly pleasant enough. It’s the beer I go to for a drink while I ponder what to have that’s interesting.

light body, white foam, fizzy, clear, golden standard blonde beer. Not a standout beer but easy to drink and not at all unpleasant

Bottle from Tesco. Pours golden with a thin head. Sour citrus, bit too fizzy. Quite Belgian in style in my opinion. OK.
