Tasted by a half-pint at the Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield. Served by a handpump w/ a sparkler.

A: the light yellow straw hue comes with a very thin but foamy white head, on top of usual low carbonation for a real ale.
S: lemon-grass? with a pinch of salt... a swirl brings out a nice and full grainy malty body laced with tropical fruits' lively aromas... a touch of cream stays at the back, too, true to the tradition of pale ales in Northern England.
T: a wheat-ish flavour comes to mind at the first sip... coming along with an intriguing, sour-grainy touch; the hops expand on the palate rather late, bringing some citrus zests and grass-iness... while the bitterness turns more chewy and a tad dry in the end.
M&D: overall the texture is light and refreshing for a 4.7%abv. Blonde Bitter, but somehow this beer pales before Abbeydale's own Absolution and Moonshine for lacking a clearer theme and bolder taste.
