Can thanks to a very kind customer. He's off to Islay soon and hopes to bring me back some more of their output. It cost me a swap for a Cromarty Not The Foggiest.
Appearance - pale yellow with a big fluffy white head and steady carbonation.
Nose - lemon, pineapple and peach.
Taste - more of the same, citrus and tropical.
Palate - light bodied, dry finish.
Overall - good.

500mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a medium. Nose is full of diacetyl, English hops, and butterscotch. Flavour is full of butterscotch, diacetyl, and subdued bready malt. The diacetyl and butterscotch character ruins this for me. Not good.
