The Geist James Blond, a Belgian-Style Strong Blond Ale is pale in colour & medium-bodied, with a smooth finish. Unfiltered, it is lightly sweet with a fruity character and mild spicy notes, balanced by a noble hop bitterness.
Founder & CEO Narayan Manepally was very keen (to put it mildly) on naming this beer James Blond, since it was a fun play on the name of a famous character from pop culture and the name also referenced the style. As cheesy as it sounded, the rest of the team only gave in after he promised to act as the character in a launch video for the beer and he kept his word.
