(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 7 Oct) Golden yellow colour with white head. Fruity nose with citrus, some grapefruit and mandarin. Fruity taste with mandarin, orange, dried apricots and a spicy hoppy bitterness in the finish. Nice hop character, but fairly one-dimensional.

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear golden. Heavily papery nose. Sweetish and medium bodied with loads of cardboard. The low hop rate leaves a lot space for the malt flavour. Sadly that consists entitrely of mashed paper and cardboard. A beer for the paper recycling.

Bottle. Pale golden coloured beer that pours with a very small head, very refreshing and nice hoppinessthe bitterness and sweetness balance each other out well to leave you all in thinking that this is quite a decent beer.

Bottle. Gusher?! Nice, candyish, flowery hop aroma. Almost clear golden colour without much head. Quite nice hop flavour, a lot like the aroma, and sweet. Nice bitterness. High carbonation. This would make a cracking cask ale.

Amber color. The aroma is malty and with some honey. The flavor is quite ordinary, some sweetness, some bread. Ordinary Ale.

Bottled. Golden colour with big foamy white head, lacing. Hoppy nose with metallic and hayish hints. Soft hoppy flavour, which grows a bit in finish. Quite boring and feels a bit empty with only hoppyness.

Different label than in RB photo. Golden color, big foamy white head, lace. Metallic hoppy nose. Nice straightforward hoppyness but lacks on malt side - empty as sayaravai said.. Some sweetness in the finish. Bitter aftertaste.

(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, slightly hazy ale with an impressive, huge and very stable head. Quite sweetish and aromatic with only a vey discreet bitterness. A rather surprising and different ale which is also stronger than the typical Scottish ale. And the storytelling on these Broughton bottles is simply great. 190304

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet malty - quite boring. The flavor is sweet malty with hints of honey and a light hoppy end. All in all a boring beer.
