Delicate floral hop aroma. A subtle, well balanced finish with good character. A pale golden beer, clear tasting, in a continental style.

The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Nasty aroma. Tastes dry, somehow woody, unbalanced finish. Very strange!

500ml bottle from my father-in-law Dave - cheers! Pours very pale gold with a small but lasting white head. Crisp, clean, refreshing taste, with a hint of grassy hops and a twist of sharp and bitter citrus in the aftertaste. Enjoyable, but lacks depth and tastes a little watery.

Gravity. Half pint. Amber-blonde body. Almost no head. Light aroma of malts and hops. Flavour has got a rounded sweet hoppy profile. Quite well bodied (London Drinker BF, early afternoon session 12.03.2008).

Bottle. Deep golden in colour with a slight, off-white head. Hoppy aroma with some sweet malt. The flavour had citrus and grassy hops with some supporting malt. Drinkable.

Bottle, thanks Pivnizub. Hazy amber, low off-white head. Perfumed english hops. Bready light nutty base, nicely balanced. Chewy. Quick finish, Scottish rocks in the aftertaste.

Bottle: Slightly hazy, golden coloured, mid-sized fluffy off-white head, a moderate fruity maltiness mixed with distinctive citrousy hops in the nose; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; short sweet-fruity-bitter-herbal finish. Very decent beer, a bit weak in the finish...........

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a dense, medium-sized foamy white head. Light-sweet, fruity (citrus, lime) nose with flowery, light-resiny hoppy notes. Light-bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft carbonation. Fruity and malty taste with a lighter hoppy touch compared to the other Arran brews I have sampled; dry and a bit slim, fruity and slightly flowery, slightly resiny hoppy finish.

Bottled. Golden colour, bubbly white head. Aroma is fruity hops with some sweet flowery hints. Flavour is grassy and a bit creamy honey. Very dry palate.
