4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 20/20
the beer hits you with a nice jolt of bitterness.
Very refreshing ale.
Shocked that they call this a blond ale.
not a bad beer at all, very tasty (bitter and hoppy as all hell.)
the flavor had a hint of lemon peel in it.
the apperance was amazingly clear with lightning bolts of bubbles shooting for the top(or what they call lacing.)
Sat well on the palate, went from bitter to hoppy back to bitter.
This was a hard brew to come by, lucky i have a great liquor store in the out skirts of chicago that had it.
it was a great beer, that i will drink again.

One of my all time favorites. This beer had one of the most incredible heads that I have ever seen on a beer. Very rocky and sustained through out the entire pint. Deserving of the awards.

This is one of the UK’s best A fabulous strong light beer, full of flavour and extremely moorish. This really is a wonderful ale that is a must try.It is a bit to easy to drink rather too much. This must be drunk on draught from the cask. Forgrt it from the bottle!

UPDATED: OCT 19, 2004 On draught. Beautiful staw coloured beer, with a great, white head and good lacing. Hoppy aroma. Malty, bitter, dry, slightly fruity and fantastically hoppy taste. On form one of the best beers around.

Pale raw color with good hop nose. Light in the mouth with good malt flavor. The end it what was so impressive to me. The hops explodes in your mouth for a very clean dry finish. Loved this beer.

A classic summer beer, light and refreshing but with a complex hop character.

Bottle conditioned. Bright gold, clean, with a good bead of bubbles producing a fine tight white head. Initially there is a wonderful fragrant hoppy aroma, but that fades rather too quickly for my liking..may be "nose fatigue" I suppose, but it was lovely while it lasted. Lightish in body, packed with a host of well balanced flavours, citrus hops persist on the finish..quite a fruity ale, enjoyed it a lot, bought at my local V.W. but now sadly discontinued.

UPDATED: SEP 17, 2003 This one pours a clear, golden color with a medium sized, lingering, creamy white head. Light aroma of grass and hops with a touch of malts. Light body with lots of carbonation and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. The flavor is lemony and hoppy with just the right amount of malts to balance the bitterness. The finish is crisp and dry, and has a nice lingering hop flavor. A great beer, very tasty and refreshing. Very clean.

UPDATED: MAR 2, 2007 Wow. Seen and read about this for so long. Finally rated it. Very nce indeed.Nice deo straw colour, nice head and lacing on glass. Bitterness apparent somewhere in the mouth.Citrus and creamy. I tell you what, this would be excellet to wean the macro brew lager drinkers off their stuff as they seem afraid of any dark stuff. Will rerate later, just in case this is just a one off opinion due to my first time ! Excellent value at present.£1.00 a bottle in Asda.

Bottle: Bright and light yellow with a slight haze and nice poofy white head. Gristy aroma. Nice wheaty texture with just a hint of citrus. Almost like some American wheats with an added hop presence, I really, really like this.
