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.

Keg at Casc, Aberdeen. It pours clear blonde with a sturdy, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, soft, sweet banana, foamy banana candy, flumps, warming spice, clove rock, toasty grain and nougat. The taste is initially a touch dry and some a sharp citrus zing, powdered sugar, candy, clove rock, pineapple chunks, plenty of sweet banana, banana split with squirty cream, a touch of green veg/celery and warming booze with a drying finale. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A bit lighter and more chuggable than expected. Errs on being a bit sweet though.

Can. Hazy orange beer, small pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness, touch of caramel. Ahtanum presenting here as skunky with pretty ripe tangerine and mandarin. Mild peel bitterness into a cooling pine. Light finish leaves a mild peel bitter linger. Yeah, not a bad single hop showcase but this hop can be brighter and this beer could be a tad cleaner.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - murky orange with a foamy yellow-white head. Nose - passionfruit and then orange zest and tangy sour mango. Taste - sour mango and orange, not much on the passionfruit side. Palate - medium bodied, tart middle and finish. Overall - quite good.

500ml bottle with a classy yellow wax seal from Villeneuve Wines in Peebles - deep opaque black oily Lyle's treacle body, tan head. Too much in the nose to note, liquorice, fruits, boozy wood, wine, blackcurrant jam, cigar smoke, leather, all very hypnotic. Taste is all of the above, massive oily mouthfeel, so full of flavour, boozy burn at the back. Abandoned 2/3 of the way through when my legs gave way and I face planted the living room door. Recommended.4.4/5.0.

Light pineapple, but flavour here is all but absent. Lots of tin. Dark copper pour with decent head. Crisp finish. Can.
