Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy yellow - blonde with a pleasantly fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, juicy, vibrant fruit character, apricot, peachy, orange squash, tangerine, orange blossom, melon, brioche and touch of pine. The taste is crisp, dry, nice level of bitterness which lingers, bright fruit character, peach, apricot, mango, tangerine, orange, fragrant florals, touch of pine, light green character and supportive bready malts with a smooth finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Delectable. Utterly drinkable stuff.

Bottle via the online shop. Now we’re talking. Hazed pale-ish gold. Kernel swede. Beautiful. Ripe citrus and soggy melon. Bit of sap. Creamy malt backdrop. Taste has creamy sweetness with a good level of piny citrus pith bitterness. Super clean throughout. Good bitter finish. A 330ml wasn’t anywhere near enough.
