Bottle ordered from Twisted Crow, Basingstoke. Aroma is lightly funky, earthy, flowery. Clear honey gold. Thick bubbly foamy white head. Medium bitter. Sour citrus edge. Herbal. Sherbert. Woody. Dry. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Enjoyably dry and crisp. Not sure how the traditional Scottish element works. Saison-esque.

375ml bottle @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, Sep 21. Bought from Villeneuve Wines, Peebles. Pours a misty orange, large white foamy head. Interesting oaky wild nuances on the nose. Taste builds on the oaky influence with some playful bitter hoppy interactions. A little different for a wild beer, more fruity elements would be welcome. Promising.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours pretty lively pale gold. Soft haze. Thin and messy, lasting white foam. Nose has nicely leathery brett. Spicy hop leaf. Touch of something like lavender. Taste has a touch of sweetness, with firm, leathery, bretty lemon bitterness. Clean and refreshing on the palate, with high-ish, foamy carbonation. Clean hop leaf bitterness to close.

Bottle from Brew Cavern. It pours hazy blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is grassy, earthy, light manure, damp hay, funk, barnyard, twist of lemon, must, gooseberry, dried florals and herbal vibes. The taste is firmly dry, earthy, quite a bit of oak, musty, hay, floral, funky, dry oak, manure, barnyard, minerality, flinty, soda water with a slice of lemon, grass and straw with a drying, oak finish. Medium body, high foamy carbonation and fluffy mouth feel. Really interesting and enjoyable stuff. Rather different than anything else going on in Scottish brewing at the moment.
