On keg @ I & G Lothian Road. Appearance - red to amber. Decent lacing. Nose - floral and redcurrant but not getting anything tart. Taste - more of the same really. Something a bit rose water plus some red fruit. Palate - light bodied with gentle bitterness, no sourness to speak of. Overall - it's fine but would not have picked this out as sour in any way.

Can. Bright clear paleish gold beer, small white head. Palate is light, semi dry and has a decent fine crispness. Light malts, just sweet enough. Mild lager tang. The Sabro could have overwhelmed this brew very easily but it hasn't been overdone. Light piney pineapple and a touch of ripe citrus. Light finish. Decent.
