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".

Bottle. Slightly hazy gold with a small head. Aromas are sweet lemon with honey a floral heather. Light and fresh. Flavours are light mellow lemon with soft sweet hops. Sweet marmalade fruitiness follows with grapefruit bitterness. Sry and bitter on the finish. Quite tasty.

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.
