A beer derived from years of practice searching for the perfect pint, of course hoping secretly that you never actually find it! In other words, a pint suited to the taste- buds of our head brewer that can be savoured several times in one session without feeling like the bottom has fallen out of your world (or vice-versa!). Golden, hoppy, clean on the palate and leaving a long lingering after-taste that will haunt you until you quest for more.

Can from Devenick. It pours clear copper with a decent white head. The aroma doesn't really warrant the use of hops in the aroma.. subdued biscuit, grain, touch of damp grass, earth and a touch of cereal. The taste is firmly dry, snap of bitterness, grass, herbal accents, grain, earthiness, biscuit malt, vague hint of pithy citrus and cereal, damp wood with an earthy finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Such and old skool beer. Drinks fine enough, but pretty earthy and boring.

On cask at Cross Stobbs Inn, Barrhead - Clear yellow body, thin but lasting white head. Nose is grassy, a bit of citrus, some herbiness there too. Taste is clean, a bit of diacetyl at the back, but not unpleasant.
