500ml bottle in an Edinburgh restaurant. Pours clear straw yellow with decent white head. Grassy and butterscotch aromas, touch of cereal and grains. Taste is light hop bitter, light malt sweet. Finishes thin and short.

50cl bottle from Dobbies Garden Centre, Reading. Described as a Pale Ale on the bottle - and that seems a much more accurate description of this light, grassily hopped beer. It’s straw in colour with a billowing white head, and could even be mistaken for a lager; the aroma is grainy with a touch of wet grassy; it’s sweet and grainy in the mouth; with a light refreshing bitterness to finish. This goes to show that Orkney can manage soft and delicate as well as heavy and skull splitting.

500ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Lovely clear golden body, robust white head, visible carbonation. Nose is light fruit, a bit of yeast, grass and cereal. Tart first taste, citrus, hops. Very fresh and young. Good effort.

Nice soft hoppy aroma, pours medium golden with creamy head. taste is initial hops and then...nothing. Watery mouthfeel and no finish (because there’s no taste). Doesn’t taste bad, just doesn’t taste at all...

500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Surprisingly intense citrusy aroma, hints of tangerine, husk and hay. Taste is has slightly grainy and husky overtones, unspecific fruity basis close to lemon, tangerine and orange. Nice.

A golden beer with an almost medium and white head. Aroma is fresh and aromatic, lemon, some fruits and dry malts. Taste is quite dry and biscuity, some aromatic citrusfruits, hint of honey, nice grassy and elmony bitterness. Nice taste but it’s too mild. Light bodied, slightly harsh carbonation. Nicely fresh, but the flavours are too mild.

0,5 l flaske ombord i Fridtjofen: syrlig og frisk aroma. Fint men kortvarig skum. God munnfylde. Frisk smak av citrus og bringebær. Behagelig ettersmak, kanskje en smule oljeaktig
