Bottle, thanks Huub! Pale blonde. Grapefruit and oily hops in the aroma and flavor. Thin, watery. Vegetable notes. Very low on carbon. Should be much better fresh from cask.

Bottle picked up at Lidl Inverurie. It pours clear brown with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is earthy, sticky, resinous, umami, savoury, canned beans and some sweetness. The taste is dry, touch of bitterness, oily, sticky, resinous, spicy, bit of rawness, canned beans, pretty savoury, soap and some bitter citrus peel with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A unique combo for sure. Not sure I would rush back though.

330ml bottle from Lidl. Clear copper with a thin off white head. Aroma is honey and caramel, flavour is sweet toffee with savoury notes which I assume come from the beans. A bit odd but not unpleasant

Can from Lidl. It pours hazy deep amber with an orangey hue and medium foamy white head. The aroma is hearty and rich, brown bread, sticky, resinous, brown bread, old leather sofa and a touch of grass. The taste is dry, bitter, rich, oily, resinous, pine, touch of orange marmalade, earth, light tannin and some toffee malt. Finish is dry and resinous. Old-skool West Coast resinous IPA. I like it for what it is. Hearty.
