On keg at Byron burger joint. Appearance - amber and lightly cloudy. Thin creamy head. Nose - lime, pine and cake mixture. Taste - more lime and pine. Palate - light bodied, a bit thin and a wee bit sweet for the style. Overall - a touch sweet for the style.

Bottle from a nearby Toom Supermarket. Gold with a thin, frothy, white head. Aroma of caramel, lychee and slightly artificial lemon. Taste is mildly bitter with slight lemony twist and a hint of metal at the end. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Drinkable but uninspired.

Can from co-op Old Meldrum. It pours clear bright golden with a decent white cap. The aroma is sweet, sticky, dull toffee, caramel, pine, grapefruit cordial, tinned fruit cocktail and resin. The taste is fairly crisp, pleasantly dry and bitter, touch of toffee, pithy, zesty citrus, orange peel, grapefruit, tinned fruit cocktail, touch of pine, resin and spice with a dry, yet also sweet oily finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Firm enough. Bog standard feeling craft IPA . Drinks fine with food.
