Bottle. A lightly unclear one, golden to amber in color and with a small, off-white head. Lighlty smoked nose with some caramel and a touch of dried fruits. Some sourish notes. The flavor has some smoke, as well as a piney, resiny bitterness and some sweet maltyness. Medium to full body. Not my preferred smoked beer, but sure drinkable. 120623

Cask @ The Caley, Edinburgh 160612
Blonde yellow, clear, frothy white head with some lacing
Aroma of light pale malts, hint of hops, dull nose
Taste of light golden malts, touch of spicy peppery hops, light citrus, slightly metallic, bit dull
Palate - soft carb, thin body. Finish as main flavour, full, hint of metal on the tail
Overall - Very ordinary blonde ale - I have no idea why Tempest brew this - it’s not a patch on the other beers I’ve tried from them which are generally excellent
