Cask at the Justice Mill, Aberdeen. It pours clear amber with a small frothy white cap. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, oily, floral, sweet doughy bread, pine, pic n mix, iced gems and a twist of citrus fruit. The taste is dryish initially, bitter - sweet, sappy, oily, resinous, floral, peppery spice, waxy citrus, bitter peel, grapefruit and damp grass with a lingering bitter, resinous finish. Average body and limited carbonation. Could be done with a bit of carbonation lift, so sits heavier than it should. Nice bitterness for sure, but not as drinkable as I would have hoped.
