330ml bottle (as Deeside APA). 14th July 2017, fourth beer in a tasting session with myself. BBE Aug 2018, poured into a Westmalle trappist chalice. Clear amber body, collar and wisp on top. Got a bit of a cold, so the aroma is lost on me: dank, piny hops may have got through the nose to my sences, citrusy too? Taste is hop forward and semi-bitter, light malty flavours come late as does a mild orange trace or two. OK, I liked it.

Cask, half-pint at The Grill. A stable off-white head to a clear amber-gold body. Good lacework. Peach and herbal hops on the nose. Peachy and grassy flavours. Followed by a clean bittersweet end. Oily palate. Decent stuff (Aberdeen 18.04.2016).

Bottle from Dunnottar Wines. It pours clear amber with a decent beige head. The nose is soft, fruity, orange, tangerine and caramelized grain. The taste is crisp, bitter-sweet, toasty grain, orange, grapefruit rind, straw and a touch of pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Easy-going, but far from a game-changer. Alright.

Cask at the archebald Simpson jdw Aberdeen. Golden orange coloured pour with a lasting white head. Some lace. Light haze. Aroma is mineral wet grass and stale malts. Flavour is spicy, grassy hops with a biscuuty base malt base. Some light fermentation character and mineral. Medium bodied and moderate carbonation. Lingering spicy hop. Drinks pretty good.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thin off-white head. Lively carbonation. Excellent lacing. Aroma of Rich Tea biscuit, apricot and tinned peach. Flavour of underripe pear, lemon, peach and cereal. Thin body with an oily texture. Nice fizz. A clean British style Pale Ale.
