Sampled cask conditioned. Pale yellow. Vanilla and citrus aroma. Light bodied, rather sweet with orangey finish. Very refreshing. Seems like they have something similar to summer in Scotland too...

Sampled cask conditioned. Deep golden. Sweetish, bitterish. More fruity, and less crisp than other beers from this brewery.

Earthy, light hop, followed by a firm maltiness and some cocoa notes. Robust bitterness, slightly orangey notes. Great unfolding flavours.

Lemony, toasty aroma w/ slight plum & strawberry esters. Light bronze colour. Clean malt accent with notes of nuts, toast; herbally-hoppy background with a hint of earthy bitterness. Vaguely lemony – the challenger hop signature the label tells me about. Nicely balanced, though perhaps some more malty fullness would help it out.
