Pure Blonde
Pure Blonde’s watery, nutty taste disappointed our beer tasters. They also disliked this beer’s cheap-smelling bouquet.
| Origin: |
Australia (Melbourne, VIC) |
| Alc/Vol: |
4.6% |
| Tasting Info: |
Beer tasting 1 on 04/03/2005; beer sample 6 out of 20 |
Beer test results for Pure Blonde
In a blind test, our beer tasters came to the following conclusions:
| Appearance: |
Clear with little to no bubbles. |
| Aroma/Bouquet: |
Low intensity aroma with nut and caramel characteristics. |
| Taste: |
Thin-bodied and watery, with a nutty taste lacking bitterness. |
| Summary: |
Not recommended. |
In a blind test of Pure Blonde, our tasters commented:
“Clear piss lager with a nutty aftertaste. A touch watery but nonetheless easy to drink.”
“Blah. Watery, nutty and malty. Low intensity.”
“Cheap-smelling - no aroma and a thin, nutty taste.”
“Sweet and nutty - not what I look for in a good beer. Way below average.”
