Keg at Casc, Aberdeen. It pours lightly hazy pale orange with a sturdy white head. The aroma is fairly soft, sweet, creamy, fruity, tangy peach, mango and some berry jam. The taste starts soft and mellow with a creaminess to it, then it gets peachy, mango, nectarine, red berry, raspberry jam, some fizzy tangfastics and a slap of alcohol which creeps up on you. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but it offers good buzz.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - there's a deep amber, almost red with a fizzy head that quickly disappears. Nose - deep berry and stone fruit and the combination is coming across quite sweet, almost more like strawberry. Taste - yeah, berry seems to be dominant. And quite sweet like strawberry again. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy middle, light tartness on the finish. Overall - ok.

Can from the brewery online shop. Pours surprisingly clear amber with no real head. Lots of peach and tart raspberry on the nose. Taste is tangy and fruity. Dry finish. Tasty bev.

Hazy amber beer, head fizzles out pretty quickly leaving it looking a little flat. Strong peach aroma. Strong peach in the taste too as well as something citrusy, hops and there's something drier that I can't quite place balancing it out. Possibly just coming from the malt. Lovely stuff though.
