Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours slightly hazy copper with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is bitter of zingy grapefruit, rindy, woody, leather, toasty grains and brown bread. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, woody bitterness, earth, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, bitter rind, resin and toasty grains with a zesty finale. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Decent enough, but I definitely prefer the blonde.
