Appearance - Pours a straw gold with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - bready malts, yeast, light noble hops, lemon
Taste - Bready malts followed by the yeast and the noble hops and lemon.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes dry with a light bitterness from the noble hops.
Overall - An easy drinking blonde ale that has all the elements of the style in place. I would have liked to get more of the hops in the aroma but nonetheless a session blonde ale.

A - Golden colour and minimal frothy head.
S - Toasty but earthy aroma - malt hop mash-up
T - somewhat biscuit like malt flavour. Earthy or even a bit woody
M - somewhat fuller than expected for a light summer ale
O - relatively tasty golden ale, fairly dry. Works for a patio beer

650ml bottle. The label blurb implies that this offering will be an annual affair from here on out.
This beer pours a clear, bright pale golden yellow colour, with two fingers of frothy, rocky, and spongy off-white head, which leaves some sudsy hoar frost lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready, somewhat crackery pale malt, mildly spicy wheat, yeasty white wine lees, a further grape juice fruitiness, and soft leafy, floral hops. The taste is mixed wheat and grain-based breakfast cereals, peppery yeast, muddled white grape and apple/pear fruit notes, and rather understated earthy, and sort of perfumed hops.
The carbonation is tame, and mostly just pleasantly fresh and tingly, the body medium-light in weight, and plainly smooth, a small hard water flintiness arising along the merry way. It finishes well off-dry, the white bready malt and grapey fruitiness lingering on into the night.
A so-so blonde ale, the fruitiness agreeable enough, however, the malt seems to be phoning it in - it's merely adequate, not stepping up with some edgy biscuity character or the like, as do some of the better style examples of recent recall. Definitely easy-drinking, though, which is apparently what they were aiming for, so kudos and much lakeside beer chugging all around!
