500ml bottle from the Scottish Real Ale Shop. Pours pale gold, light haze, long-lasting white head. Aromas of over-ripe fruit, light sourness, cooked oranges. Taste is sweet and lightly sour, bitter at the end. Something chalky too. Odd.

Dark brown. Pale brown head. Aroma of dark caramel, dark malt and dark berries. Similar taste, balanced with subdued bitterness. Thin mouthfeel. Short, but good, aftertaste and high drinkability.

Flaske delt med importør Ovesen: mørkebrun med beige, kort skum. Aroma og smak av mørke bær, mørk malt og beskjeden humlebruk i ekte scotch ale-stil. Dette er ingen bitter. Lett munnfylde og behagelig lett å helle over drøvelen. colonsay is the smallest island in the world with its own brewery. Ten per cent of the island’s working population (Chris and Bob) are employed here!

500ml bottle from Dobbies Garden Centre - Deep mahogany body, thin white head which soon goes. Nose is rich sweet caramel, with a sweet maltiness that carries through to the taste. Bit thin on the mouthfeel, with a rather short ending.

Bottle, Christmas gift from Tom. Clear golden body with a thin white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of lemon, grain and faint metal. Clean flavour of citrus, lemon and grass. Thin body with a watery texture. Nice fizz. A smooth, easy drinking Lager. Very nice.

Bottle from garden centre. Dark brown clear colour thin beige head. Malty aroma. Bit of sourness. Not great to be honest. Least good of the beers I had from this brewery.
