Cask at The Gordon Highlander. It pours clearish dirty blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, fragrant, honeyed grain, biscuit, white bread and sponge cake. The taste is firmly dry, fragrant, green, herbal, coriander is quite prominent, grass, biscuit, slightly soapy, sweet raisin and sultana with a drying finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Maybe a bit too fragrant / soapy.

Cask at the Gordon Highlander, Inverurie. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, sappy, oily, bright grapefruit character, zingy, tangy, sherbet, pomelo, touch of toffee and pine. The taste is firmly, dry, punchy bitterness, bright citrus vibes, zingy, tangy, grapefruit, pink grapefruit, pomelo, bitter citrus peel, green, piney, peppery spice, dull toffee, bready malt base and a nip of alcohol. Finish is firmly bitter which lingers. Average body and moderate, fluffy cask carbonation. Honestly I love his. £2.22 a pint is ludicrous. Moreish and fresh.

Clear pale gold with a small frothy white head and a sweetish bready aroma. Light to medium bodied, sweet cereal with fruity notes, a hint of spice perhaps and a dry bittersweet finish.

Hand pulled third of a pint in my local Spoons on 9th October 2025. Fifth of 7 festival beers tried on the night. Golden body, white crust. Light citrus feel to the nose and taste, piney notes arrive late, enjoyed it.
