Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of fruits, malt, and wet hay, leading to a dry finish.

Cask at Cloisters Scottish Beer Festival. Pours clear amber orange, thin white head. Light aromas of caramel and citrus. Taste is more of the same, lemony bitterness at the end. Medium body, bitter finish. OK.

50cl bottle from the Scottish Real Ale shop. Appearance - a lovely amber colour with a nice lacy head. Nose - mostly toffee but just a hint hint of herbs or pine. Taste - honey and wholemeal bread. A wee citrus kick at the end. Palate - medium bodied with a creamy texture but just a hint of malt astringency on the finish. Overall - good beer but pleasure slightly reduced by the mildly astringent finish.

Bottle from Islay Ales. It pours golden yellow with a medium white head. The nose is dough, spice, floral, earth and hay. The taste is hay, earth, spice, flour, floral and light soap, with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.
