On cask at the 2011 Belfast Beer Festival.

Lager blonde with solid white film of foam. Very decent musty lemon nose.
Lemon curd and table water crackers up front with lemon peel hops.
Orange Starburst finish and dry prickly linger. Thin to medium, some cling, crisp.

Bright and clean. Exactly what an English Blonde Ale (IPA - wha??) should be.

From the CAMRA Beer Club Spring release 2008...

Appearance: pale goldy-copper-brown, slight haze (though probably chill haze), big layer of bubbly off-white foam, great head retention

Aroma: soapy, citrusy hop scent; raspberry blossoms, hop pollen, malt

Flavor: dryish malt backbone laced with citrus rind bitterness and lemony fruitiness; orange marmalade; finishes dry with a lingering NW (US) bitterness

Mouthfeel: medium body, pert carbonation, crisp but soft

Other comments: If you tasted this blind, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was an American IPA. Much more hoppiness and bitterness than the usual UK brew. Flavorful and refreshing.
