Keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Pours milky yellow with no head. Aromas of booze warmth and ripe tropical fruit. Taste is more of the same. I expect a bit more for £8 a third.

Keg at Brewdog Lothian Road. Embarrassingly thick, muddy brown pour, looks like a vault shitty beer. Aroma and taste is just cacao. Pretty boring.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Hazy and slightly yellowish gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied pale malts, a nice light creamy sweetness. Dunno who wrote the description for this brew but, fuck me, superb palate! Exactly as described for the hop side, sweet green tea, lychee and black pepper. There is a tangy hop spicy bitterness over a melon streaked citrus and stone fruits. Airy and semi dry finish leaves a long hop spicy linger. Very nicely done. So light and dangerously drinkable and also, a bit off the beaten track.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this paleish and slightly yellow gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts. Soft cooling pine hops. Light but juicy Krush hop fruits, stone fruits and a little tropical fruits. Mild hop spice nip. Mild citrus on the back end. Light, bright and quaffable.

Pours hazy gold with a decent white cap. Lots of tropical fruit, bit of a malty, bready vibe in the background along with a hint a berry sharpness. Decent malty finish with more fresh fruit and just that lingering berry sharpness. Pretty good AF offering.
