Bottle from Asda Dyce. It pours clear golden with a small fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty grain, fragrant, floral, twist of citrus and biscuity malt. The taste is crispy, dry, light touch of bitterness, snappy, fragrant, floral, dull peppery spice, toasty grain, pithy, zesty, twist of citrus and a biscuity malt base with a dry finish. Lighter end of average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Simple, but quenching blonde ake. Nae bad.
