Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy reddish - brown with a frothy beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, malt-driven, varnished wood, brown bread, resin, some dried fruits, cacao and toffee. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, underlying sweetness, resin, wood, varnish, nutty, cacao, dried fruits, fruit & nut chocolate, burnt toast, brown bread, baked goods and touch of spice with a drying, toasty finish. Medium+ body and moderate carbonation. A decent enough malt-driven affair.

Bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours lightly hazy deep golden - amber with a rugged, fluffy white head. The aroma is quite green, herbal, grassy, light veg, quite sweet, grainy, sweetcorn and biscuit. The taste is initially dry, light bitterness, then it's quite sweet, green, grassy, herbal, minty, some harshness, some spice, veg, cabbage, grainy and metallic twang with a drying, green and spicy finish. Moderate body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Can't say I'm a huge fan of what's going on here...A cacophony of flavours. Looks good and had a decent mouth feel at least.

Bottle from Westhill SS. It pours lightly hazy copper with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is cedar, resin, floral, herbal and a touch of citrus. The taste is dry, quite bitter, floral, herbal, grass, peppery spice and soda water with a slice of lemon with a lingering bitter - dry finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not bad. Drinkable.
