Sample thanks to Grumbo: Poured an unclear copper with whispery white head. Aroma is malty, a bit earthy, light fruits. Taste is bold malts, very caramel and earthy, some soft fruits to balance it.

29/5/2020. Bottle courtesy of Painy’s pre-lockdown Scottish tour. Pours almost clear dark gold with a lasting creamy white head. Aroma is sweet malt, nicely hopped, tropical fruit salad, mango, peach, citrus, flowers and a touch of caramel and butter. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight sticky texture, soft carbonation. Sweet fruity finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle from Morrisons, Inverurie. It pours golden with a medium white head. The aroma is quite soft, freshly cut grass, biscuit, zingy lemon and lemon curd. The taste is crisp, dry, decent hit of bitterness, grassy character, straw, hay, peppery spice and light soap with a drying finish. Light+body and fine, foamy carbonation. Drinks easy for sure. Fine.

Bottle. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of soap and white grapes. Flavour of grass and peach skin. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Crisp and easy to drink.

50cl Bottle, thanks R&J! Slightly hazy pale golden colour, white head. Aroma of dry dusty malts, light floral, citrus, light soapy, hoppy. Flavour is likewise, dry and floral, lemony hops, light sludgy yeast flavour, decent bitter finish. Light bodied. Could definitely drink a few of these.

Cask at the Tam O’Shanter. Light to mid-gold with a decent white head on top. Lemon/lime aroma with some artificial sweetener. Unfocused bitter taste with fruity sweet edges. Not sure the condition is as good as it shoul be. At any rate this brew is found wanting.
