A naturally brilliant blend of malt and hop characters. Solid gold colour, remarkably aromatic. smooth body with hints of fresh citrus. Dry delicate hop flower finish. A drink that is both distinctive and long on refreshment.

During a couple of drinking weeks in England, I had three half pint of this Scottish pride. The best kept version was served at perfect temperature at The 11th St Albans Beer Festival. Golden coloured body with good clarity topped by a low filmy layer of foam. Nice floral aroma mixed with hints of roasted grain. The flavour is well balanced with a skilful blend of earthy hop bitterness and malty sweetness. Gentle, dry finish. Moderate bitterness. At its best, this is very moreish drink. But the bottle version is still better(29.09.2006).

(Cask at Island Queen, Islington, London 21 Apr) Pale amber colour with frothy white head. Fruity nose with citrus (mandarin, orange) and some malt. Malty and fruity taste, light body and a long, dry, hoppy finish. A nice, well balanced and refreshing bitter, slightly thin maybe.

Cask handpull at Druids Arms, Maidstone. Normally a favourite of mine but this wasnt awfully good, so I will re-rate when I have a better pint. Pale copper colour thin white head. Distinctive hop citric aroma with a bit of caramel. Thin in mouth bit watery. Some citrus hop on the end. Re-rate on 24/9/5. Cask handpull at Bohemian, Deal. Pale gold, bubbly white head, grapefruit citrus and fresh hop aroma. Pale malt underpins more aggressive green hop, leading to good hoppy, citric dry finish. Distinctive tea flavours too

Hazy blond color. It has a nice aroma, some earthy hops. But simple flavor, just some caramel and bitterness. Pleasant but simple.

Golden color. Delicate fruity and grassy hops in the aroma. Good body structure, some malt, sweetness, and very good hops (fruity). Very good!
