A sweet malty beer with lots of toffee & caramel notes from the pale and crystal malts. Fresh dry hop taste comes from the challenger and goldings which also give a satisfying easy drinking bitter finish.

Draught. Nitro. Soft aroma with flower-grass notes, some fermented apples, slightly buttery. Flavour is slightly fruity and grassy. Aftertaste with fermented apples notes and grassy bitterness. Light and drinkable.

Tap @ Terminus Den Bosch. Clear rusty orange color, average sized dense creamy white to off-white head that lasts forever. Smell and taste malts, hops, lightly bitter. Nice typical bitter. Pleasant.

Clear amber beer with a creamy white head and a light sweet aroma. Flavour is inoffensive and fairly bland. I think too many and it might end up on the sickly side but if itβs chilled then that takes the edge off on that front.

Tried from a nitro tap. Clear orange body, white head. Both the aroma and taste are light and mostly grainy but also have slight notes of caramel and floral hops. The body is also kind of light. Not a super exciting beer, but there is nothing bad about it.

This was all over Scotland and a favorite of our golf group (not counting myself). Light nose of bread and toffee. Tastes of dough, toffee, licorice, andcraisins. Very creamy texture but easy to put down.

Can from Yamaya. Malty nose, some caramel, earth, minerals, bread, grass. Decent nose. Pale orange amber with a fine, thick, nitro head. Rather bland flavor, malty caramel and bread, some earthy hops. Ok balance and drinkability, but a bit boring. Quite bready. Light and creamy. Ok flavor, bad nitro and color. I might try it again. Decent enough when you think about the strength.

Keg at Holiday Inn, East Kilbride. Clear amber body with a thick white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of sour grain and lemon. Flavour of caramel and sour fruit. Thin body with a watery texture. Faint carbonation prickle. Bland and forgettable.
