Bottle. Hoppy but bit of spice too. Lemon, bit of skunk. Strange. My least favourite of the 5 we had.

Bottle. Again didn't feel like a bitter. Aroma is lots of sweet roasty barley. Taste is very good, lots of malt again, like mugi cha. Treacle again. But light and refreshing.

Creamy white head stayed on a pale golden body. Minimal vegetal aroma with faint hops. Medium to thin bodied, well carbonated with a softer back. Definitely picking out the elderflower although I wouldn't have known before reading along with hops, citrus & floral tastes

Bottle on Ullapool to Stornoway ferry. Appearance - golden with a generous fluffy head. Nose - glad I read the label as was trying to place the elderflower. Definitely got the citrus and knee there was something floral. Nice bready malt structure. Taste - as per the nose. Elderflower, citrus and bread /biscuit backdrop. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture. Balanced bitterness on the finish. Overall - good.

Cotts 2019. Boozy rich Christmas aroma. Darkest brown. Thin beige head. Medium-heavy bitter. Charcoal and some fruit. Medium bodied. On the thin side. Average carbonation. Long finish. I guess it's not aged particularly well - a tad bland.
