Can from Westhill. It pours lightly hazy yellow - good with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is piney, earthy, cereal, toasty grains, touch of spice, tropical fruits, pineapple, passion fruit, melon and some gummy bears. The taste is firmly dry, earthy, good hit of bitterness, prickly pine, wood, floral, grass, spice, light tannin, pithy, tropical fruit vibes, pineapple, papaya and guava with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Enjoyable.

Can from Cork & Cask. Clear golden body with a light haze and white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange peel and pine. Flavour of peppermint and melon. Medium body with an oily texture. Light fizz. It’s not a hop combination I would have thought complemented each other but it comes together nicely here.
