Bottle from the Misty Bottle, Skye. It pours deep golden - amber with. Medium fluffy white head. The aroma is quite floral, elderflower, toasty grain, nutty, cereal, oatcakes and porridge. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, toasty grain, floral, nutty, woody, oatcakes and citrus peel with a drying, toasty finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Pretty alright. Drinkable, but forgettable.

330ml bottle from brewery shop in John O'Groats - hazy gold body, bit of a Gusher, leaving a long lasting white top. Biscuity malts, grassy hop, some vanilla cream thing, a sweetness at the back end. Okay material.
