500ml bottle, from trade with Ash! Many thanks. BBD 31/12/14 so perhaps not an accurate reflection of the beer. Pours hazy gold, huge unrelenting head. Aroma is herbal. Taste is herbal, leafy, floral with dandelions, pine and sweet malts with faint saison yeast peering from underneath. Doesn’t particularly join up well but it’s different.

Bottle at home, from Royal Mike Whisky. It pours deep amber with a decent off-white head. The nose is bitter-sweet, juicy, biscuit, toffee, fruit cake and nut. The taste is bitter, piney action, toffee, baked goods, biscuit and some candied peel with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Great balance and high drinkability. Very drinkable.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A slightly hazy amber pour with a fast fading white head; sweet orangey fruit aroma; rather thin malty body with a pleasant earthy bitterness; and some caramel to finish. Pleasant to really too thin.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - deep amber with a decent head. Nose - toffee and oranges. Taste - loads of oranges with big biscuit note and toffee. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - great example of the style.

330ml can from Appelation Wines, Dalry - cheers Ash! Pours hazy golden amber with a thin ring of white head. Aromas of red fruits, toffee malt. Taste is malt, light herbal, almost menthol note, then light citrus and pine. Medium body, light sweet caramel on the finish. Quite a bit going on.
