Crowler from BD Inverurie. It pours clear apple-juice amber with a fizzy white head. The aroma is nice funk upfront, barnyard, sweet tangy apple, warning spice, earthy apple skin, apple crumble and a touch of sharp grape. The taste is crisp, prickly, dry, bitter - sweet, juicy, tangy, crunchy, earthy vibes, apple skin, touch of tannin, slick and oily, some tartness, juicy crisp apples, kiss of booze and a certain vinous quality with a dry, slightly funky finish. Medium-fulsome body and fine, prickly/effervescent carbonation. Has a nice depth to it. Grows on you. Fun stuff.

Keg @ Brewdog Birmingham. Pale milky yellow appearance, small white head. Excellent vivid pineapple coming through on the nose and to taste, quite fresh and fleshy as opposed to syrupy. Nicely sharp on the palate. Pretty decent.
