On gravity at the Factoberfest, the Tobacco Factory, Bristol 7/09/2012. Golden coloured with a slight white head. Light, citrus and grassy hop aroma. Easy drinking, with some biscuity malts, more fruit and a decent, bitter finish. Good.

Bottle. Clear golden body with a thick off-white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of peach, lemon and grain. Flavour of grapefruit, white grape, oats and biscuit. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. Hoppy and easy to drink.

Cask at Blackfriars, Inverness and also later in bottle. It pours golden yellow, with a medium white head. The nose is freshly cut grass, citrus pith and white bread. The taste is citrus pith, grapefruit, light soapiness, straw, grass and sweet malt notes to balance everything out. Finishes with light bitterness. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Good balance and flavour. A sold session ale and good start for this new brewery.

Half, cask at Bow Bar. Low white head that laces well, amber coloured body with a slight haze. Dry hopped fruity nose, grass and hay. Plain hoppy taste with a semi-dry bitter finish. True to the style (Edinburgh, 14.04.2012).

Cask @ Bandstand Bar, Nairn 050612
This is improved considerably from when I first had it...in fact is has really changed but for the better - itβs a really good golden ale, more balanced, lots of nice fruity malts - I preferred it to the Avalanche
Cask @ Bandstand Bar, Nairn 6/3/7/4/14 241211
Amber, clear, frothy white head dissipated to thin layer, some lacing.
Aroma - Light grassy hops, light malts, some minerals - very light aroma
Taste - some grassy bit spicy hops, light caramel malts - not much flavour intially but builds up like a βwaveβ to the finish
Palate - soft carb, thin body. Finish - the flavour reaches itβs intensity here - spicy hops, citrus hops - grapefruit and grassy - quite dry - lingering hops with some minerals and a bit of cereal. Good for 4.1%.
Overall - This is a reasonably good debut beer - ..I wonder what is in store with higher abv beers, darker beers, stouts etc.......I think there is better coming in the future........one to watch
