Cask at the glenavon pub in Tomintoul. Odd aroma, very acidic, sour malt. Flavour is malty, quite acidic, a light hint of smoke, caramel notes but not sweet. Interesting but not my cup of tea.

On cask at Allan Park Hotel, Stirling - clear yellow, thick white top. Grassy nose, bit of metallic citrus in there. Was told this was brewed at Cairngorm for Riverside MF?
