Keg at Marine Hotel, Stonehaven. It pours clear gold with a thick white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, orange peel, tangerine, orange blossom and lemonade. The taste is crisp, bitter, clean, grassy, straw, citrus peel, pithy lemon and white pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Fresh, clean and bitter. Nice one.

On keg at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Steady bubbles. Nose - grapefruit. Taste - more grapefruit. Very intense and zingy. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - carbonation a bit too much.
