Bottle from a garden centre. Pours clear gold with a thick white head. Decent aroma decent flavour. A bit like a golden ale. Good though a slight herbiness on finish definitely drinkable. I thought ok.

Aroma - Hint of caramel malts, nothing else
Taste of caramel malts, light bitter hops, touch of soft fruits, soft dark sugar

Very dark red beer with a strong, malty aroma and a head that dissipates quite quickly. Fruit and malt flavour that seems slightly watery and doesn’t have much by way of aftertaste.

Pours dark amber with a nice red glint. There’s a decent head to start with but it fades quite quickly.The nose has toffee apples and malt. The taste has caramel and biscuits and then the Apple note kicks in at the end. The palate has a light to medium body with a creamy texture and a.fairly clean finish. Overall, solid.

Bottle from Gordon and MacPhail, Elgin 061012 Golden, clear, big frothy head, some lacing Aroma - light pale malts, slight cereal biscuit, touch of hops, very light aroma but fresh Taste - very light pale malts, hint of soft cereal, very light citrus hop, very easy drinking. The flavour is subdued but there are no off flavours here which would be easy to spot in such a light brew. Fresh and clean. My palate is gasping for more flavour though Palate - soft carb, thin body, slightly oily. Finish - there’s a bit of a bitter tang to the finish Overall - There are no flaws with this beer apart from the fact the flavour is faint. I think it will appeal a lot to lager drinkers as its very easy drinking.

50cl bottle from Gordon and MacPhail. Pours golden with a gentle bubbles and a nicely proportioned head. The nose has nettles and limes with just enough pale malt in the background. More limes and fresh greens on the taste. The palate is light to medium in body with a tangy texture and a long clean finish. Overall, a good beer and I’m really confused by the other ratings.
