Tod’s Blonde – Little Valley Brewery

Posted by: Tony In: Bottles, Breweries

2nd bottle being sampled is Tod’s Blonde.

Tod’s Blonde (yellow bottle top) headlines as cool and crisp.

Bottle notes say: “… the bottle is a Belgian style Blonde beer. The beer is bright yellow in colour with a pleasant malty taste and a smooth finish. It is a surprisingly mellow beer with a light fruity and spicy aroma. It makes a change to the continental lager!”

Also bottle conditioned – the recommendation from the brewery is to keep it upright for 24 hours and then pour it until the sediment reaches the neck of the bottle.

Quite frankly I don’t bother with those rules. I just pour it and drink it.

Verdict: Hmmm this is really nice too. Like the previous bottle I don’t do cold and I de-gas a bit. This 5.0% bottle contains wheat malt and barley malt and has a subtle malty twang to it. It is just like previous bottle with added Malt.

Another impressive organic bottle – I can hardly believe it. I prefer this to the wheat beer – but only because of the more ‘aley’ taste of the malt.

Another high 4’s out of 5 for me. I’m going to find this somewhere and buy it – oh and drink it!!
