A burnt, charred blonde, if that’s possible. Very bitter up front, but doesn’t linger much. Not my thing. To call it a Blond Ale seems somewhat odd.

Bottled. A muddy greeny orange coloured beer with no head whatsoever. The aroma is citrussy with notes of orange. Hoppy and bittersweet in the mouth. More oranges. Pretty good although the bitterness may become a bit heavy. No obvious pasteurization flaws.
