Can direct from Orkney brewery. It pours clear golden with a small, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, floral, zingy citrus, pithy, splash of lemonade, grain and biscuity malt. The taste is fairly crisp, dry, snappy, bitterness, pithy, zesty, lemon, grapefruit, floral accents and biscuity malt in the backdrop with a dry, zesty finish. Average body and fine+ prickly carbonation. Fairly ok, but also fairly forgettable. --- Beer merged from original tick of Atlas Wayfarer on 29 Sep 2013 at 05:00

Cask at The Redgarth, Oldmeldrum. It pours clear blonde decent white head. The aroma is brught, zingy tangerine, kumquat, orange blossom, zesty, touch of grass and lemon poppy seed cake. The taste is dry, clean malt base, bitter, zingy and zesty, tangerine kumquat, orange, orange blossom, light spice, grassy bitterness and some pine with a lingering bitter - dry finish. average body and soft carbonation. Took me by surprise a bit. A lovely, vibrant cask ale.

Can thanks to Jim. Appearance - golden with a big fluffy white head. Nose - earthy resin, biscuit and maybe just a touch of orange, but not particularly fruity. Taste - orange, green stalks and earthy resin again. Palate - dry and light bodied. Overall - so so!
