Lions Pride

◎ Appearance

Lions Pride presents a light straw colour with excellent clarity and a pale golden hue characteristic of the blonde ale style. The head forms with modest density and displays good retention, clinging to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. Carbonation is evident and well-integrated, creating a lively visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright citrus notes derived from Bramling Cross and Comet hops, layered with subtle blackcurrant berry undertones that add complexity. Beneath the hop character, soft malty notes from Maris Otter and Munich malts emerge, contributing a gentle, biscuity foundation without dominating the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and rounded, balancing fruity hop expression with warm malty sweetness from the grain bill. Citrus and berry flavours dominate the mid-palate, while the finish remains clean with restrained bitterness—only 15 IBUs keep the beer approachable and smooth. The malt structure provides substance without heaviness, allowing the fruit and hop character to remain prominent.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and refreshing, with berry notes lingering gently on the palate before fading to a clean, slightly dry aftertaste. No harsh edges emerge; the moderate alcohol content (4.3% ABV) ensures the beer remains sessionable and smooth to the end.
