Can from Eebria, in date by 3 months. Clear golden to amber with moderate sized off-white head which sticks around. Floral, biscuit, light citrus aroma. Taste is the same, starts malty, then citrus and a floral hop come in, semi-dry and bitter finish. Light to medium bodied, easy drinking. A bit old school but decent.

Cask @ Counting House, Glasgow. Almost clear orange with a decent white head. Aroma of diacetyl and hints of citrus fruits. Taste of lemons, oranges zest and basically nothing else. Sllightly tangy. Moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. Thin and watery as expected. So-so.

Can picked up from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is fragrant, oily citrus, grapefruit, dried florals, earth and biscuit. The taste is dry, bitter, piney, peppery spice, grassy, pithy, zesty citrus, lightly soapy and some biscuity malt with a drying finish. Light body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth to it, but it's drinkable enough.
