Like Edinburgh we’re creative, inventive and outward-looking. We combine old and new ideas and techniques to create beers of beauty.
Inspired by the Edinburgh-born ‘Father of Pop Art’ Eduardo Paolozzi, we showcase the art of brewing. Paolozzi took everyday objects and transformed them into works of art; we take overlooked and underestimated beer styles and present them at their beautiful best.

Bottle and can. Clear deep golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lightly roasted malt, straw and white bread. Flavour of grass, herbs, biscuit and a light hoppy finish. Thin body with an oily mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Very clean and crisp but with a maltier note than most. Nice label design.

Festival pint (20 oz) draft at Ryries at Haymarket Station, Edinburgh, Scotland. It pours a dark golden-amber color with a small khaki head and great retention. Virtually no aroma. Excellent retention. This is a very good Helles. It's smooth and clean and bready/doughy, and really easy drinking. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Not bitter at all. Slightly sweet. The more I drink of this Helles, the more I like it. It's really good.

From tap at The Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. Sweetish malt with grainy notes, hint of fruit. On the sweet side for Helles, I prefer a more bitter Helles. Still, acceptable Lager.

Old rating - A 330ml bottle brought back from Scotland by my wife. Pours a amber with a white head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, malt, fruits & straw. Medium carbonation. Crisp slightly bitter finish. Passable, but not a helles.

Bottle from Chester Beer and Wine. Cloudy gold with small white head. Aroma is like a golden ale; light biscuit malts with citrus and floral hints. Taste starts a bit standard rich tea biscuit and spice but the medium body helps to elevate some of the hoppy elements and the finish has a lovely fruity berry like resin and good bitter bite. Mixed but something a bit different, I enjoyed it.

330ml can. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is big yeasty, light hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, somewhat watery, crisp, malty, yeast, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Big can from McAldi - clear gold with a little white top. Grassy, light on the malt, flowery hop. Decent enough.
