66 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head, fully diminished in 2 minutes. Aroma is mild cornish and vaguely spiced. Dry and slight fruity base flavour, reminds me more of a filtered German helles than a Belgian blonde, but I guess the name Blonde Bier gives that away. Light bitterness and yet smooth caramel malty finish.
