Bottle and can. Clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of candy, pear, orange sherbet and dusty yeast. Flavour of orange, grapefruit, minerals and pear. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation. A tasty beer with lovely balance between the bitter hops and the tangy yeast.

Cask at Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. It pours clear amber - blonde with a small white head. The aroma is fairly mellow and subdued, overall is sweet lush, oily, resinous, green, pine sap and hop sack
The taste is dry, bitter - sweet vibes, pithy, weak lemony citrus, piney, slightly sappy, resinous, dull green edge and biscuity malt. Finish is dryish and zesty. Average body and light carbonation. Unusually for PoW I don't think the condition is that great. A fair offering all round.

Cask at Archibald Simpsons. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a sturdy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, resin, wood, resin, zingy grapefruit, brown bread and toffee. The taste is dry, bitter, woody, resin, old leather sofa, tannin, pithy, bitter citrus peel, grapefruit and a touch of toffee. Average body and fluff cask carbonation. I like the level of bitterness to this. Decent hoppy amber.
