500ml bottle from Beer Me Up Scotty, Shrewsbury Market Hall. Pours a hazy gold with medium off-white head. Light caramel / malt / floral aroma. Taste is biscuity with bitter citrus.. the whiskey malts aren’t too apparent but it is nonetheless a pleasant pale.

500ml bottle from Beer Me Up Scotty, Shrewsbury. Pours clear gold with a distinct lack of sparkle. No head and no discerning aroma. Taste is flat, watery & tasteless with certainly no lemon to speak of. Very disappointing. Willing to try again on draught, but won’t be spending money on another bottle.
