330ml bottle from Lerwick Brewery. Golden amber colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, citric, with notes of wood & smoke. Taste is sweetish, malty, grain, citric, with earthy bitterness. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry malty bitter finish. Quite OK.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light to mid-gold and clear with a small white head. Aroma of malt, hay. Taste is sweet and malt-driven with notes of honey and agave syrup. Oily body, medium to heavy carbonation. It's okay.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Deep gold, clear with a small white head. Slightly dank fruit - some papaya and some physalis - combines with a gluey resinous character on the nose. Taste is as expected with tropical fruit, pink grapefruit, glue, gritty malt. Lightly carbonated. Okay.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery. Drunk at home. Mid-brown and a bit translucent with a slightly rocky beige/khaki head. Malty aroma with light chocolate and blackberry notes. Taste is a bit sweet with some almost sourish berry notes toward the finish. Thin body, softly carbonated. Not bad but not quite right.

330ml bottle as part of a delivery from the brewery.reddish brown and very thin-looking, like it’s 30% beer and 70% water. Malty, woody, slightly smoky aroma. Light, sweet taste with some bitterness in the malty finish. Watery body, medium to heavy carbonation. Not terrible, but quite weak, almost like second runnings. Refreshing though. I’ve had worse.

330ml bottle (or two) as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Dark golden brown, mostly clear with an off-white head. Gummy resinous aroma with overripe tangerine and fruited caramel. It's malty and fairly bitter at the same time with more citrus peel in the mouth. Lightly herbal bitterness in the aftertaste. Oily body, somewhat thick for the ABV, soft to medium carbonation. It's decent.

330ml bottle, online from the source. Pours clear chestnut brown with a few beige bubbles. Aroma: brown bread, caramel, dark fruits. Taste: light sweet & light to moderate bitter, fruity, caramel, bread. Light to medium body with almost no carbonation. Old school malty boi but it's pretty lifeless, needs some carb for mouthfeel.
