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.

Can from Aldi. Hazy deep golden body with a thin off-white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of cantaloupe and orange cream sweets. Flavour of orange and angel delight. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. It’s soft and sweet. Very good indeed for the price (although at 7.0% ABV, it’s an IPA not a DIPA).
