Can from Aldi Ellon. Opens with a foamy gush - never a great sign! It pours clear golden - blonde with a decent frothy white head. The aroma is bready, biscuit, cereal, nutty dusty, leafy hops, grass and floral. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, sharp bitterness, leafy, floral, sweet orchard fruits in the mix, bready malt, biscuit, oatcakes and a touch of peppery spice with a drying finish. It's a bit clunky and dirty. Has some depth to it mind you. A mixed bag.

18/7/2022. Can from Flavourly.com. Pours hazy pale yellow orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of grapefruit, malt, grain, citrus, touch of herb. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Light body, watery, average carbonation. Bitterness continues to develop, becoming a bit harsh. Nice aroma but not much else I enjoyed.

pretty bitter for only late hop additions. I think my can might have been the last on the canning line, it had a lot of yeast bits and was quite hazy. 2nd can still hazy but less yeasty bits. Light malty flavour with grapefruit bitterness.
