May 24, 2005 Nice brassy-amber pour with 2 fingers of solid beige foam. Faded to layer of cream with nice lace. Aromas of bread, cider and malt. Some esters and diacetyl/over-ripe bananas in the background. Wonderful, complex flavor. Good malty start playing with a fruity apple and bread middle, the mildly bitter herbal finish. I tasted apples, cranberries, orange, lime, yeast, butter, nutmeg, cinnamon, and a meadow of green hay and wildflowers. Mouth feel was excellent, creamy but with a sprightly bit of carbonization that played on the tongue. My mouth felt clean and refreshed. Because of the low ABV and moderate gentility, this is, as the label says, a "friendly pint."

Apr 7, 2005 english pint / oats and caramel aroma. slightly active amber body. big white head that diminishes slow and airy. smooth brew, slightly chewy, buttery (butty?). hops are hard to describe, but it’s all there. i’m not understanding how this can be a blond ale since it tastes like it’s more of a maltier pale ale or bock. funny label!
