Can from Cork & Cask. Golden body with a light haze and a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of earth and grass. Flavour of straw and pear with a minty finish. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Well balanced but with less of a fruity hop flavour than I expected.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy orangey - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and fruity, mellow sweetness, apricot, peach, nectarine, touch of orange blossom, nip of spice and bready malt. The taste is crisp, firmly dry, piney bitterness which builds, pithy, waxy rind, zesty orange citrus, soapy floral character, orange blossom, some minerality, peppery spice, grass, stone fruits and light woody tannin with a drying, bitter floral lingering finish. Average body and moderate to high foamy carbonation. A touch soapy if truth be told, but enjoyable nonetheless.
