500 ml bottle, 4.1% ABV, at The Granite City (JDW), Aberdeen Airport. Copper to reddish amber colour, small white head. Minimal grainy and dusty aroma. The flavour has a little fruit and some caramel, and is otherwise grainy with moderate hops. Nice enough to drink though.

Keg at Six Degrees North Aberdeen. It pours clear deep amber with an orange hue and small white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, orange marmalade, spicy whisky, toffee, wood, honey, nougat, fruit cake and leather. The taste is dry, bitter, woody, leather, tannin, spice, warming whisky, warming alcohol, black tea and earth with a drying and woody finish. Medium+ body and fine, prickly carbonation. Rather nice aroma to it. Works pretty well.

Keg at Six Degrees North. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweetish, plenty of melon, honeysuckle, dust, soap and wood chip. The taste is crisp, dry, touch of bitterness, pithy, lemon - lime, soapy, straw, herbal, grass, toasty grain, wood chip and melon with a drying and slightly grainy finish. Light - medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not sure I am a fan of this hop... Balance is not great to be honest with you.

Keg at Six Degrees North Aberdeen. It pours dark brown - black with a small beige head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, coffee cake, coffee & cream, toasty malts and treacle. The taste is dry, mellow bitterness, coffee, earthy roast, toasted nut, bit of dried fruit, cola, wood with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent coffee character to it. Perhaps a touch thin, but it’s decent enough.

Third of a cask pint at the Scottish Real Ale Festival in Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange on 7th July 2017. Hazy golden amber, decent white head. Citrusy tropical fruits in both the nose and taste, difficult to pick out individual fruits but mango’s and grapefruit like flavours where there or there about. Enough going on to make it an enjoyable beer.

Third of a cask pint at the Scottish Real Ale Festival in Edinburgh’s Corn Exchange on 7th July 2017. Soft golden amber in colour, thin white covering on top. Delicate floral nose and taste, a bit thin in aroma and flavour really: let’s be kind and say it is subtle in nature.

Cask pint in Bennets, Edinburgh on 8th July 2017. Poured a clear golden colour, decent white head. Amarillo hops I assume? Orangey, citrusy aroma and taste fairly bitter flavour wise. OK.

Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of cheesy hops, green plant stalks. Taste is bitter, too bitter. Think they’ve thrown too many hops at this one. Bitter finish.
