DA (2179), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA May 1, 2008 Hopped up golden ale, grassy and grapefruity hops, floral and bitter. Crisp palate with a soft bready grain flavor. Hint of lemon peel in the aftertaste. Enjoyable beer all around. Angeloregon (1236), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 23, 2008 Bottle purchased at Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon--Poured a bright golden-copper hue with a thick white head. Lemony, crisp, biscuit nose. Rich, full mouthfeel with a creamy, caramel UK flavor. Citrus hops and bready malts. Session-worthy and very clean in the end. Very nice. austinpowers (2813), New York, New York, USA Apr 7, 2008 Bottle from Tanakaya shop in Tokyo. This is a pretty big bottle. 500ml. A forgettable, slightly sweet, slightly grassy example of the style. Meh. Its notable characteristic is it’s got considerably more hops than the typical Blond Ale. Miksu (1060), Jyväskylä, Finland Feb 22, 2008 0.5 l bottle. Perfumed and tart fruity british hop aroma. Strong tart fruity hop flavor with biscuity maltiness, firm bitterness and crisp salty finish. Good session beer. raymondwave (713), Finland Feb 8, 2008 Bottle 0.5 l. Yellow with white thick head. Nose is fresh, hoppy and fruity. Flavor is quite intensely bitter with a beautiful hoppy and malty aftertaste. Leans a bit to german pils style only a bit fruitier. Nicely thick for the abv. Winner!
