Cask at the Cloisters Scottish Beer Festival. pours clear pale gold, thin white head. Light floral and citrus aromas, some light caramel. Taste brings more sweetness initially, but with a good bitterness at the back. Crisp finish. Nice.

Bottle, as Plockton Light, on the train from Plockton to Dingwall 19/10/13. Hazed golden amber with a thin off white covering. Nose is orange, peaches, toasted malts, light hops, touch of soap. Taste comprises orange pith, peach, light hops, citric fruit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light grassy bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff but the soapy notes let this one down.

50cl bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a slim white head some of which stays around. The nose has a faint grass and citrus zing. The taste has something grassy with a citrus follow up. The palate is light to medium bodied with a long zing, though the finish is a bit sudden. Overall, solid but not that exciting.

Amber, clear, dense white head
Aroma - pale fruits, damp slightly smoky hay, cereals, soft fruit
Taste - sweet caramel malt, tangy fruits, touch of damp smoky hay, alcohol bit noticeable, reasonable
Palate - Medium body, oily, quite sweet palate. Finish as main flavour, bit dry
Overall - Didn’t like this at first but got better down the 1/2 pint - but I only found it very average
