102.69/5.02.7/5.0-35.4 English pint, Shaker P  Stats

Commercial Description:
An English Blonde with only the best British malts and hops. The late addition of whole leaf East Kent Goldings adds a classic and traditional smooth hop aroma. During fermentation our special strain of yeast from Northeast England contributes light fruity esters. A great British session beer!

During a visit to Savannah, received a pint in a restaurant. The server described it as bitter but the initial odor appeared to be more of a pungent smell. The appearance was very light, but it had a very strong taste. Unfortunately, the strong taste was of wood. The finish was overpowering and required a glass of water to remove it. I would not recommend this beer.

(draught) pale gold with small white head. Yeast aroma. Flavor is yeast and cloves. Tastes more like a Belgian ale than an English ale.

Not what I was expecting. For a traditionally brewed Golden/Blonde Ale, I would have expected a cloudier appearance. Still, this is no lager. The hop notes, the awesome lacing of the head and the smoth drinkability are great. I’d quaff another pint.

Bottle conditioned. Pours a hazy pale amber with a quickly dissipating white head. Citrus and bread in the nose. Light to medium body. Sweetness and fruit in the taste eventually give way to a little hop bitterness at the end.
