First up, this one is gluten free, so a real treat for any celiacs out there. Amber in colour with a creamy head and a malty tangerine aroma. Strong malt flavours with nicely balanced bitterness, some slight floral and citrusy notes.

On cask at Whitebridge Hotel, Inverness - clear gold body, little white head. Soft fruit character with a little citrus bite. Easy going.

Cask. Clear amber color with white head. Aroma is lightly buttery, a bit peach and apricot jelly, very sweet. Taste is peach, apricots, powdered sugar, some cereal, bitter finish. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Alright.
