In the spring of 2011 construction of the brewery started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011.

Can from Fountainhall Wines, Aberdeen. It pours cloudy soft orange with a bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh and bright, green, herbal, dry wood, blast of tropical fruits, passion fruit, peach, tangerine, nectarine, and a touch of spice. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, pleasing and satisfying bitterness which lingers, damp herbal character, weedy, spicy, dry oak, pithy, zesty, butter orange peel, grapefruit, five alive fruit juice, passion fruit, peach, unripe mango, floral vibes and a just a nip of alcohol with a drying, citrus rind finish. Medium body and moderate, yet soft carbonation. I miss when ipas (even hazy ones) were bitter like this. Nice hop expression. Robust and flavourful. Tasty.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours a beautiful reddish dark brown, with whitish foam. Aroma is coffee and licorice. Body is average, with no carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet and roasty. Final is average in intensity, but leaves some biscuits feeling.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy orange body with an off-white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pineapple, grass and passionfruit. Flavour of grapefruit and lemon with a bitter, tangy finish. Medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. This is a brilliant showcase of the Harlequin hop; I had no idea how tropical and punchy it is.

44cl can from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown/purple, with fine cream foam. Aroma is intensely malty, caramel, maybe a little nutty. Body is slightly more than average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet, but with a moderate final, shorter than expected.
