Keg at 6° North Glasgow. Hazy orange with a foamy white head. Fruit and cereal aroma and flavour. Nice enough, but didn't have the big, bold flavour I'd expect from a NEIPA

Can. Very hazy gold - amber beer, good cream colour head. Airy palate, fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, light creamy sweetness. A slightly odd bitter note in the mid. Pine and candyish tropical fruits. More creamy sweetness on finish, getting slightly milky, perhaps a touch of diacetyl. So at least two flaws here but not hating this, nice candy tropicals.

Can picked up in Stoney. It pours lightly hazy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, tangy, orange marmalade, kumquat, bit of Irn Bru and some greenness. The taste is dry, bitter, tangy orange marmalade, kumquat, fanta, Irn Bru, warming alcohol, sponge cake, orange muffin and some greenness. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Nice tangy orange vibes. Decent.

Bottle in Ye Olde Meldrum. It pours clear amber with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is bright, juicy, oily, toffee, grapefruit, candied orange and biscuit. The taste is drying, big hit of bitterness, resinous, piney, resinous, peppery spice, some rawness, pithy, zesty grapefruit, rindy and bit of toffee with a drying and resinous finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Punchy stuff. Bitterness took by surprise a bit - in a good way. Nice stuff!
