COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Filtered, and lagered but unpasteurised.
Launched in 2000 as Jenlain Blonde. Changed to Jenlain No. Six in March 2005, with Jenlain Blonde name being used for a new 7.5% beer.
With its splendid golden hues and fruity tones, Jenlain No. Six has a distinctive bitter finish and a hoppy nose. The barley-scented liquor sparkles under its light, foamy head. Light and thirst-quenching, with a rich characteristic savour, it is best served at between 5 and 6°C, with a meal or as an aperitif.

MikeKeller (560) - Kemi Rock City, FINLAND - JUL 28, 2010
Can (0,33cl) from Systembolaget labeled as Jenlain Blonde. Funny flowery yeasty aroma. Same in the sweetish taste also. Very drinkable and refreshing but tasty and enjoyable at the same thime maybe because of the personal yeast and ABV.

OleR (4247) - Oslo, NORWAY - APR 29, 2010
Can from Systembolaget, labelled as ’Jenlain Blonde’. ABV is 5.9%. Low, platina blond head. Body is well carbonated and pale straw colored. Modest aroma of unfresh pale malts. Notes of vegs, cereals, lemon bon bon and metal. A very light and fairly dry malt body, with notes of stale bread and some barely noticable hops. Feels thin and diluted in the mouth. Fizz and harsh lemony fruitiness in the ending. Unsignificant.
