D’un bel orange ambré, la MacTavish s’écoule inéluctablement du verre laissant comme unique trace une belle dentelle de Bruges. Alors que quelques bulles s’échappent du liquide, des effluves de houblon vert, de terre ancestrale et d’épices se mélangent aux traditionnels parfums de noisette et de caramel des ales anglaises. En bouche, fraîcheur et acidité s’accordent aux saveurs maltées de biscuit et de caramel. Le houblon laisse alors une bonne amertume et ne confère sa verdure qu’en rétro-olfaction. La finale est sèche, subite et totalement désaltérante.

Cask days 2011.
Light hops, citrus, but more resinous, piney. Light toasty malt, a little grainy. Dry finish, decent hoping, light bitterness. Would be a great session ale.

Caramelised malt and grass aroma. Taste of malt and grassy hops, quite fruity (citrus fruits and tropical fruits), bitterness, and long lasting grassy-fruity aftertaste.

Bottle from the Lcbo. Fairly unassuming beer. A touch of sweetness to some straightforward hay malts. The hops is notable but light, comes off green and fresh, a little resin, a touch bitter. Quaffable but I wouldn't go out of the way to have it.

On tap at B�din �lfestival. Pours a hazy amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma of apricot, caramel, pine and diacetyl. Flavour of pine, grass and grapefruit. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a medium bitterness. Hoppy with a nice flavour. Too bad with the diacetyl.

19/I/19 - 66cl bottle @ Nieuwjaarsreceptie Gentse Biervereniging, BB: n/a - (2019-108) Thanks to everyone for the huge bottle share!
Clear pale blond beer, small irregular off-white head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: bit yeasty, spicy touch, malts, hoppy. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: bit sweet and malty up front, fruity touch, soft bitterness, some citrus, bit hoppy. Ok, but not great. Probably aged too much.

Good light-yellowish head, pitting in over lively carbonated copperish golden beer. Excellent grapey hops, however a bit volatile. Caramel traceable; slightly dusty. Bitter-fruity, citrus, bitter melon, pineapple, orangepeel. Finish shows some rosewater, but never actually sweet; Quite well-carbonated; slick. Refreshing quality. Like it - outstanding in its category.
