750ml stout sparkling wine bottle, as ever was. The brewery calls this a pale ale, which it probably is, but given my experience with this outfit, a straight-up blonde ale had to happen some time.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden straw colour, with one finger of weakly puffy, and mostly just bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a few minor streaks of sea plume lace around the glass as it quickly blows off.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, wet white crackers, subtle orchard fruit - pear and red apple skin, mostly - understated yeast, mixed table pepper, and tame earthy, leafy, and grassy hops. The taste is more bready and doughy pale malt, a bit of peppery umami, muddled drupe orchard fruit, resigned yeast, and a pleasantly peppy grassy, earthy, and weedy hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite low-lying and unobtrusive for the most part, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, a bit of perceived fruitiness hardly hurting the cause. It finishes on the sweet side, with a sassy pale malt, lingering orchard fruit notes, and a waning yeast and hop contingent providing the packaging for this takeout sammie.
A simply-rendered, and pretty much enjoyable blonde ale, the malt and fruity essences doing well all by themselves. Easy-drinkin', lying by the pool or seaside, is what this one's all about, given that you would be paying local craft prices, and not the typical inflated (justifiable or not) import variety.
