Sampled on draft this cider poured a yellow-apricot color with a small foamy white head that faded and left no lacing. The aroma was dry with notes of champagne, mustiness and light citrus. The flavor was dry with champagne, faint citrus and apple flesh. Medium length finish. Light body

Keg at BD Inverurie. It pours clear golden - amber with a decent white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, vanilla, tangy lime, sherbet, powdered sugar and definite key lime pie character. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, lime sherbet, lemon verbena, touch of kiwi, bright, sour candy and distant acidity. Lighter end of medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Rather fun stuff.

Sampled from a can this beer poured an amber tan color with a huge yellow white head that left minimal lacing. The aroma was sweet apricot, peach and honey. The flavor was tangy and sweet with a wonderfully complex mix of caramel, vanilla, apricot, sponge cake, pear, pineapple, and maraschino cherry. A bit boozy but in a good way. Long finish. Medium bodied and smooth. Marvelous

Brewt or broot? eh? $2 can from vintage. Smells almost like citrus pine orange julius, maybe. Big giant foaming head most of the glass. A big bitter, full of flavor, beer. A little watery yet retains lots of those rude straight away attributes of a good IPA. So, what is brut anyway? Yes, just another nasty nellie of a bitter ass on style brew. I say put all the IPA in to one style block and just call it IPA, you can put imperials deep in there too. Like cheap macro pale lager, they're the new ubiquitous cheep ass beer. Hello not mellow session IPA, so be it. They practically all taste the same, big bitter bastards.

Can shared with my bro. It pours lightly hazy orange with with a small foamy white head. The aroma is tart, tangy, big peach, nectarine, mango and some premium Madagascan vanilla yogurt. The taste is crisp, dry tart, zingy, puckering, sharpness, sour peach, nectarine, sherbert, lactic, vanilla yoghurt, weak pickle juice and a kick of acidity with a drying finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Decent sour refreshment.

Can, probably really NE IPA but it says white IPA on the can. Big foamy head. Bitter rude ale bite. Typical ubiquitous IPA. Hard to tell these apart. Smell is pine tar. Terribly on style. Rude-us maximus.

Another stupid ass IPA in a can. Mild sweet hop aroma. Hazy none the less. Big giant foaming head spills over my mug. Taste of course is big bitter rubber IPA. Lets all chew on green grapefruit rinds mixed with fresh chopped inner tube. Whew. What else can be said except its terribly on style. Not impressed. Someday I'm gonna quit buying these IPA for ticks. Maybe I'll start right now; I thought my papalte would mature enough to appreciate these things but it looks like its never gonnah happen. WTF?

$3 pounder can from vintage. Gentle tart nose. Big foam hazy pale yellow pour with a big white head, only 25% beer. Big weird sizzling sound on the ear as well, different; can't remember this effect in thousands of beers. Very good initial taste impressions; its cutting and tartfully flavorful. More berliner than fruit in this one. The fruit is muted. It says peach and vanilla, and the peach must work with the vanilla because it hides the peach and there is no forward signs of vanilla either. I'm liking this, in the middle it greets you with a pleasant friendly easy culture that is sure to please any tart beer lover. Yes, even at near room temperature environment it stay clean and fresh. In the end I would have to say it comes across more like an unflavored berliner, rather than a fruity flavored one, go figger. Pretty high on the berliner scale but probably not as good as Off Color I Brewed This Myself Dod Yuzu?, Samuel Adams Longshot Raspberry Berliner Weisse, Rhinegeist Press Tart, Telegraph Reserve Wheat, Victory Blackboard Series #3 Berliner Weisse with Elderflower or even Terrapin T-Time. I do smell a little peach in there after its almost done. Quite satisfying overall.
