Easy Trail is an easy-going session IPA, inspired by leisurely walks through rural Scotland - the perfect pick-up, go-to, fridge-filler to be enjoyed however and whenever you feel the need for refreshment. The keg version was launched in the summer of 2018 before transitioning into cans to launch our new range in late 2018.

Keg @ Hop & Scotch, Kings Heath, Birmingham. Pours a generally clear gold, frothy white head. Light citrus nose, floral, biscuit malt. Taste brings much of the same with additional mild grapefruit and an off-putting herbal bitterness. Not grabbing me.

On tap @Birrifugio Trastevere (Rome). Dorata, lievemente torbida, schiuma bianca media pannosa. Al naso note agrumate e di resina, mandarino. In bocca è em dolce all'attacco con finale amaro medio. Corpo leggero, carbonazione media. Non in gran forma, peccato.

Keg at the Roseburn Bar. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Steady stream of bubbles keeps it there. Aromas of resinous hops and cooked orange. Taste is chewy, bitter. Not as smashable as the blurb makes out, but not bad.

On keg at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden and clear. Makes a change these days. Neat head. Nose - earthy fruit cake note. Then orange. Taste - orange and loads of resin which is accompanied by serious bitterness. Palate - very bitter on the finish. Needs to be more balanced. Overall - not for me. Too challenging for the style.

Keg at the circus hub at the Fringe. The aroma is sweet, tangy, zesty grapefruit, biscuit and bread. The taste is dry, bitter, grapefruit, biscuit, piney, lime, spice and some floral notes. Light to medium body and average carbonation. Not a huge amount to it, but it well rounded and rather drinkable stuff anyhow.
