Re-rating on 16/04/14 as new brewer/owner apparently. Solid as before - best Iβve had from them so far. Previous rating 23/05/12 = 7+3+6+3+12=3.1 50cl bottle. Pours golden/orange with steady to frantic bubbles and a nicely proportioned head, The nose has oranges and a little toffee. The taste is of malt and some tangy toffee. The palate has a medium body, medium texture and a fairly clean finish. Overall, itβs another bitter, very drinkable but not particularly distinguished.

500ml bottle from Dobbies, Aberdeen. It pours a cloudy orange colour with a very thin white head and very low carbonation. The nose is sweet orange, lemon, yeast, caramel and horlicks. The taste is wood, smokey, tangy orange, lemon and lime zest, leading to a light bitter finish. Itβs fairly thin, uncomplicated and inoffensive. A fairly drinkable bitter.

Pigs Ear. Slightly hazy amber beer, ghost of a white head. Light semi dry palate. Zero carbonation. Mild tangy orange. Some green vegetables and some dry semi sweet malt. Just about drinkable.
