Hazy, clear red pint. Slightly sour aroma. Flavour is toffee but with a too-tangy sweet edge for my taste. It’s nice enough but unfortunately has quite a watery finish.

500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pours a nice chestnut brown with decent head. Aroma is ginger, as is the taste, although it’s a fairly weak, watery taste. Disappointing

Bottle from Sainsbury’s, Murrayfield [130813]
Caramel brown amber, clear, off white large frothy head, some lacing
Aroma of spicy lemony fruity ginger up front, some caramel malts in background
Taste of strong lemony ginger - reminded me of washing up liquid, sour tangy, touch of caramel malt underneath, little beer flavour, unbalanced and poor
Palate - Soft carb, light body, sour tangy palate. Finish as main flavour, fairly bitter rather sour finish.
Overall - The taste reminded me of the aroma of those scented washing up liquids. Not very malty either, too much added flavouring - this was a mess tbh. Tipper.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBSG II. Clear yellow to orange color, small white head. Aroma of lightly malts, hops, tropical fruits. Taste lightly malts, hops, mandarin, lightly mango. Nice flavors, but a bit thin. Average body and carbonation.

50cl bottle courtesy of Ben @ RBBSG II. BB 30-06-2014, batch 537. Dorée-orangée, col blanc moyen. Arôme est houblonné moyen, malté avec ce bouquet très ’British’ dans l’approche et un profil houblonné rappelant les habituelles bitter. Palais est léger avec encore ici, ce palais houblonné très anglais procurant une amertume modérée et restant assez douce. Malt pâle, anglais cara, sur un fini sec rappelant presque des feuilles vertes - dry hopping.

Courtesy of Ben. Thx! 50 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBSG II. BBF 30.06.2014. Pours an almost clear orange with a white head. Nose is mellow and fruit sweet with passion fruit, oranges, flowers, sugar,…. Taste is bitter passion fruit, oranges, light fructose sugar, light grass, biscuits and citrus,… Mellow and lesser carb. body. More UK than USA. Very easy to drink and very yummy beers. A nice one, Arran has apparently more than only excellent whiskey.

Bottle from Booths Salford. Deep golden ale with a thick bubbly head. Its aroma is bitter malt but even though the ginger is relatively subtle in its flavour, it still dominates taste. Has a carbonation.
