I was going for an Ossett Blonde but ran out while it was being served, so I went for this one again today. Same details as earlier, but way better and more creamy. Other than that, still the same profile as before. Enjoyable drink and a good session ale.

I forgot that I'd already tried this one, but here goes. It's still a decent drink with a nice fruity aroma and a slight citrusy note. It has a similar taste, but with a subtle hoppiness mixed in. There is a slight tartness leading to a subtle bitterness to finish. It's an enjoyable drink and a good session ale, even at the ABV. I fear that it’s going to be a day of retries again. I marked it down as not being as creamy as before.

A very pale ale. Strong hops and a hint of lemon. A good summer ale.
