"The most convivial of ales" as described (and often imbibed) by 'The Bard' himself has become the adopted beer of the bohemian vagabonds of the Scottish arts scene. A pale golden brew, that is cold stored with gooseberries to deliver a sharp refreshing drinking experience.

50 cL bottle. Pours almost clear to pale yellow with a lacing white head. Light lemonish aroma and mild herbal. Herbal and light spice flavour with a minor lemon twist. Ends with a smooth yeasty note and more lime-ish citric flavour.

11 oz brown bottle. Aroma is just barely noticeable tart. Pale yellow with no head and it appears to be ubiquitous filtered american lager. Taste has very little sour goose berries in there. A little disappointing for I was expecting some kind of sour or tart burst. Also, there is not much here that resembles a wheat beer. Pretty much just a mild fruit beer. Has decent carbonation. Finish is not bad and is generally very acceptable. Overall not a really impressive beer but Iβm glad I had the chance to go for it. Better than average, I was just expecting something more tart for some reason.

500 ml bottle, at Blackfriars, Glasgow, as "Grozet Lagered Celtic Ale". ABV is 5.0%. Brewed with crushed gooseberries. Golden colour, slightly hazy. Moderate head. Nice aroma of hops and gooseberries. Lagerish flavour (drank it too cold though), with moderate but decent hops and notes of gooseberries.

Bottle. Gooseberry (similar to a light raspberry) and wheat malt aroma. Golden yellow color - no head. Slightly sweet berry, wheat malt flavor with a quinine bitter finish. Interesting historical brew - still prefer hops bitterness.

Cask (Fort William): Fruity nose (berries, cinnamon), deep golden, little lacing layer; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium-bodied; berries, again, in the finish. O.K., not overwhelming.........

Different, arguably floral aroma, lightly concealing some light malt. I have no idea what bog myrtle and meadowsweet smell like, but it must be those. Pale gold color with a decent white head that remains for awhile. Thin to medium body. Something of a floral aspect, backed by a light fruit sweetness, which has to leave before some (I hope) hop bitter is noticeable. The finish is all over the mouth, lots of impacts in different areas. Could be some citrus, but how can I know itβs not bog myrtle? Very interesting, and not dead common.
