Bottled 500ml. -Clear amber coloured, small off-white head, flowery hoppy nose. Slight roasted malt, hoppy, grassy and caramel with nutty notes and touch of smoke in the finish. Once again drinkable but rather average Arran.

Bottled 500ml. -Nice pale amber coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, the nose is quite similar to Sunset. Moderate malty, fruity and caramel with notes of lemony hops and dry bitter finish. Still there’s lack of body.

Medium white head. Hazy orange body. Fruity peachy plummy aroma with earthy barnyard notes. Dry-acidic peppery fruity barnyard taste with earthy notes. Thin body. Sharpish mouthfeel. Dry-acidic peppery wooden lemony aftertaste with dusty notes. Not very good, probably a light infection. (0.75l bottle from Cornelius, Edinburgh. Very tightly sealed bottle with plastic screw-top cork sealed in wax.)
