Commercial Description:
Filtered bottle.
Originally produced for the wholesaler LWC Jollys at the, now defunct, Ring O Bells brewery in Cornwall. After the closure of Ring O Bells, Jollys changed the branding of a number of the bottled beers to Carn Brea and moved production (via Keltek) to Hepworth. The recipes may may differ from the originals.

A golden ale with a distinct hoppy aroma and a bitter sweet finish. Celtic ale made using malted wheat, hops, fortified with honey and heather.
Celtic Blonde is named after the beautiful celtic queen "Blonde Esmeree". During Arthurian times the fair queens life was a story of magical romance and honest chivalry. The Celtic meaning of Esmeree is "refined" and "excellent".

A Mes rate: bottle at Chris O’s Post GBBF Tasting.
Cleanish gold with a thin white head. Reasonably hoppy with some decent citric notes balanced with some faint sweet malt. Dry and bitter finish.

Bottle. Golden beer with a reasonably strong head. The aroma is lightly hopped, and the flavour is bitter and dry at the finish with a watery body. Overall a very average beer.
