Named after Paisley’s river, White Cart Water, this golden full-bodied ale boasts smacks of flavour. The appearance is enhanced by a touch of wheat malt, giving good head retention and a wonderfully dry after-taste that won’t be easily forgotten. As the name suggests feel free to enjoy ‘Cart Blanche’ as the mood dictates.

Star coloured ale with a thin head and and sharp, citrus scent. Flavour is slightly hoppy but mostly a bitter lemon/citrus with a flat, bitter aftertaste. Refreshing and distinctive but lacking something I can’t put my finger on.

(Cask at Gallows Bird, 20120908) The beer poured pale golden and clear. Its head was small and white. Aroma had malts and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were white wine, malts, fruitiness, white bread and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. A bit weird but still quite nice brew.

From Peckhams in the shopping mall at Aberdeen train station. This looks somewhere between a Scottish and a Belgian blonde - a bit like the former but with an extra big fizzy head. The nose has lemon and hay notes and there is more of the same on the taste. The palate has a medium body, a tangy middle texture and a sharp clean finish - not bad. Overall, I like it despite other people’s ratings.

Bottle from Scottish Real Ale Shop. Hazy golden colour, white head. Nose is light malted, lemon, little sourness. Flavour is malty, sour, yeasty, flowery. Fairly carbonated. Sour finish. Odd golden ale, not too well.
