3 Ravens Blond

They say: “Real Live Ale”, whatever that means…
Three Ravens Blond is a German style ale. Soft and generously bodied, it is a beer that showcases fruity notes and a smooth lingering maltiness. The addition of Saaz hops from Bohemia adds a balancing medium bitterness and spicy aroma
Traditional bottle conditioning naturally carbonates this beer and helps add to its complexity.
I say: not bad! I don’t know about complexity and maltiness - to me it was a pretty clean, fresh summer beer. Not a lot of hops, but they’re right about the medium bitterness - just enough to leave your mouth fresh and ready for more. To me, some of these drier beers can have a bit of a chemical smell, but nothing bad here.
