#10 - Banks's Park Brewery - Sunbeam

For once the marketing is spot on.  This is indeed a 'Gloriously Zesty Blonde'.  Lovely cereal flavors give way to a pleasantly hoppy aftertaste.  A hefty hint of citrus keeps keeps this beer refreshing and at 4.2% it can be drunk all afternoon.  Unfortunately, it is kept from true greatness by a crispness that at times prevents Sunbeam from a smoothness that would add to its drinkability.  That having been said, it is an exceptional beer and well worth finding for a drink.  Once more, this will be a better beer for summer consumption, but don't let that put you off.  7.5/10 and that is probably on the stingy side.
