So far, I've reviewed three beers by Partake Brewing and I assumed that I've reviewed everything by them - nope! They have five beers and counting, and their Blonde is one I haven't had yet, which is surprising as a blonde lager/ale is quite often on e of the first I ever try for non-alcoholic beers.
Golden, bubbly and easy-drinking, this malt-forward ale will be a crowd-pleaser. While other lighter, alcohol-free beers tend to be watery, Partake Blonde’s fuller body and balanced flavour profile make it an instant classic. 0.3% ABV

Appearance: Pours your typical crisp, golden blonde lager or ale with a deep and clear golden straw body to it. Lots of carbonation in the body and a light layer of a bright white head on top.
Aroma: Surprisingly really hoppy, I really didn't expect it to be this hoppy - it's got a very floral and bitter pine presence to it. Tad bit of a sweet malt profile to it, tad grainy and a bit of a dill profile to it. Pretty aggressive for a blonde-style beer.
Taste: I'm not sure if I'm drinking an IPA or a Blonde Ale here because this is quite aggressive on the hops, which to some like me.. I love hops but this should be much more of a crisp, crushable and grassy beer. There's a bit of a gritty grain presence to it, a hint of bubble gum, moderate amount of straw.
Overall Thoughts: My tasting notes 100% describe what I think. Would I drink this again? Hell yes! I love hops and it's not as raw tasting as many non-alcoholic beers I've had. I feel like the 355mL cans are a tad small for me, I'd prefer a 473mL serving.
