On keg at Stewart Brewing. Appearance - Nose - apricot but mostly brown bread. Taste - more brown bread and subtle apricot and orange. Palate - crunchy and light to medium bodied. Dry crunchy middle and finish. Not the sour beer I was expecting. Overall - not recognisable as a Berliner Weisse and apricot a touch subtle.

Tap. Hazy orange color with white head. Aroma is wheat, lacto, gooseberries and peach skin. Taste is wheat, tart, a bit oatcakes, also a touch straw and veggies. Silky mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Quite tasty, but a bit vegetal.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours lightly hazy golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, hearty malts, doughy bread, cereal, light spice and freshly cut grass. The taste is crisp, dry, fresh grassy vibes, cracker, cereal, bread, touch of candied orange, straw and minerals with a firmly dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Flavourful, yet we'll balanced. A rather nice lagerbier. What's not to like?
