Can from Lidl, Inverurie. It pours lightly hazy blonde with a medium frothy white head. The aroma is soft, bready, doughy, biscuit, pear, melon, twist of citrus, green banana, light nougat, hay and light farmyard. The taste is dry, rather bitter... spicy, snappy, peppery, green banana, pithy citrus, pear, melon, straw, peppery, fragrant, floral, slightly soapy and dry wood with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Interesting stuff, quite a bit going on. More bitterness than it should have imo.

Can (6.5% ABV) from Aldi. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, honey and dried leaves. Flavour of stewed tea, rust and caramel. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. A well balanced, interesting beer. It’s like a turbocharged bitter.

Can from Lidl or Aldi... It posted dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, umami, dark chocolate, salted liquorice, rich roasted coffee, praline and light smoke. The taste is bitter - sweet, slick, oily, rich roasted malt, chocolate gateaux, some umami, salted liquorice, toothy, chewy, hint of alcohol and a decent hit of coffee with a smooth, toasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Rounded and pretty flavourful. A touch more carbonation would have elevated it, but it's decent anyhow.
