Keg at the Brewery taproom. Pours hazy to murky yellow with a thin white head. Strong tropical fruit aromas, stone fruit and orange. Taste is more of the same. Light bitter finish. Nice.

Can from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours lightly hazy pale orange with a decent white head. The aroma is pithy, zesty, zingy, bitter orange peel, tangerine, kumquat, grapefruit, orange squash, marmalade and candy. The taste is bitter, pithy, zesty, orange peel, kumquat, tangerine, waxy rind, slightly soapy, green and floral notes. Average body and fine carbonation. A bit too soapy/windy perhaps, but it drinks fine.

Cam from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours hazy golden - orange with a decent bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh and bright, very fruity, juicy berry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, tropical vibes with mango, nectarine and green weedy vibes. The taste is pleasingly dry and bitter upfront, the bitterness lingers throughout, touch green, weedy, nip of pine, spring onions, slightly herbal, pithy, waxy citrus peel, tropical vibes, berry skin and peppery spice with a firmly dry and bitter finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Fresh and bitter. Very enjoyable.

A pleasant, understated IPA. Not getting any Belgian characteristics. The hops are soft and floral, with caramel, rye spiciness and a hint of ginger. Maybe an older bottle?

A solid, balanced and smooth drinking stout. The nose has some unusual elements for a stout - rich dark fruit, a gummy sweetness and classic malt. Tastes include roasted malt, caramel, a hint of molasses, faint coffee and chocolate, a metallic cleaness and a smooth creaminess. Well balanced and easy to drink.
