Cask at Ryrie's. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of orange and opal fruits. Taste is bitter orange and light pine. Bitter finish. Not in keeping with the stated style and all the better for it!

Cask at The Globe Inn, Aberdeen. It pours clear golden - yellow with a handsome fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and sappy, bready malt, biscuit, peach, mango and a touch of tinned fruit cocktail. The taste is firm dryness, pleasing bitterness which lingers throughout, some tropical fruit vibes, peach, mango and the like, pithy, zesty, bitter grapefruit rind and some peppery spice with a lingering bitter finish. Average body and moderate, well appointed cask carbonation. Feels super fresh. Surprising kick of bitterness which is just what I wanted. Not hazy IPA by any stretch of the imagination, but a pleasing hoppy cask number nonetheless.
