Can at L42. It pours hazy orange with a thick off-white head. The aroma is plenty of sweet, juicy, passionfruit, mango, fresh, marmalade and white bread. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, fruity tartness, zesty orange, passion fruit, a bit cheesy, soap, straw and grain with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice aroma, but the taste doesn’t quite live up to it. Alright.

330ml bottle from Mitchells Wines, Meadowhead (5.5%) - Deep amber body, thick white lasting head. Nose is a nice mix of peaty malts, coffee, cereals and roasted nuts. Taste has a bit of whisky in there, more coffee, yes porridge as well. Decent enough brew.

(Can, 0.33 l - BB 11 November 2017, from Viking Amorella, 20170508) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, canned fruits and malts. Palate was medium bodied with rather high carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, sweetness, canned fruits, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and unpleasantly bitter. A weird fizzy brew with acrid finish.

Bottle from Aldi, Inverurie. It pours clear rich amber with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet, tangy marmalade, juicy, stewed orange, dried fruits, wood, light vanilla and glace cherry. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, earthy, wood, tannin, black tea, resinous, tangy orange marmalade, whisky, booze, leather, tree bark and spice with a drying, slightly astringent finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Interesting stuff, perhaps a bit too woody.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - toffee and biscuits. Taste - light shandy thing going on then toffee and biscuits again. Palate - close to medium bodied. It’s too sweet through the middle and end though. Overall - a big too sweet. More like a Scottish Ale in style.
