Bottle. "Cairngorm Gold". Clear golden with a nice head. Mild aroma of floral hops, zest and a hint of diacetyl. Taste is slightly fruity, zesty, earthy and floral. Medium carbonation. Creamy. Refreshing and easy drinking but also kind of bland. The artwork with the grim looking eagle and the happy fonts put a smile on my face.

500ml bottle. Pours a mostly clear golden colour with a nice smooth creamy white head, long lasting too. No strong aromas from this, just some malt. Flavour is much the same, mainly malt but quite weak really, disappointing. On the plus side it is an extremely smooth beer. Kind of floral aftertaste, light bitterness. Overall nice but disappointingly weak and lagerish.

500 ml bottle, from Matkroken Stokka. BB date 28.04.2014. ABV is 4.5%. Golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of grain and dust, a hint of fruit. Fairly refreshing flavour, lagerish with a slight citrussy fruitiness. Will rerate when I have a fresher bottle.

Bottle @ Bothy Bar, Kinlochleven. Blond colour, white foam. Light malty body. Aroma of caramel and light hops. Watery and easy drinkable. Not many flavour, rather boring beer.
