Bottle from Peckhams Union Sq, Aberdeen. It pours pale yellow, with a thin foamy white head and moderate carbonation. The nose is hay, cereal, grass and white bread. The taste is lemon, lime, white bread, cereal, grass and biscuit, with a bready finish. It’s simple, smooth and really easy to drink. A solid lager.

Bottle from Peckhams. Medium brown with no head but plenty of carbonation. Dense, bready, sweet malts with toffee and red fruits, some earthiness and a touch of peat smoke in the finish. Ok.

Golden colour, foamy white head. A bit disappointing on the hops here. Expected a bit more of it. Some malts in the flavour.

Bottled@Fonefan. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is hops, diacetyl and some mild earthyness. Flavour is quite much the same with some mild sweet hayish notes. Wellbalanced, but not very exciting.

Bottled. at RBESG 2007. A golden beer with a thick orange head. The aroma is spicy, primarily carroway seeds combined with notes of hops. The flavor is quite light with notes of malt and spices, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

Bottled at RBESG 2007. A golden beer with just a bit of sediment floating around under a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of straw, and so is the flavor, though also with a note of citrus.
