Cask at Queen Vic, Aberdeen. It pours every so slightly hazy golden - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, orange blossom, orange marmalade, apple, nelson, pear, spice and surpassingly some fresh spearmint. The taste is fairly crisp, firmly dry, decent hit of bitterness which lingers, bready malts, cereal, zingy citrus, orangey, tangerine, lemon pith, peppery spice, slightly floral, soapy, underlying malt sweetness, touch of apple, melon, estery fruits and some bubblegum with a drying, spicy finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Nice condition to this. Quite a bit to it. Could be a touch more drinkable, but interesting stuff.

Bottle from Westhill Service Station. It pours lightly hazy deep golden - blonde with a decent frothy white head. The aroma is sweet, kinda juicy, tropical vibes, zesty citrus, grapefruit, perfumed tangerine, floral, orange blossom, biscuit and bread. The taste is dry, firm, snap of bitterness, pithy, zesty, slightly soapy, floral, quite a lot of grapefruit, waxy orange, tangerine, nip of spice, touch of biscuit and bread with a drying finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice aroma, but perhaps a touch of harshness on the taste. Decent enough.

Bottle, gift from Andrew. Hazy amber/brown body with a thin beige head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of brown sugar and earth. Flavour of rust, whisky and earth with a slightly sour note (not unpleasant) on the finish. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. The barrel ageing has imparted a subtle woody/whisky note. It’s a tasty beer, if a little thin.

500ml bottle from somewhere, most likely Westhill. It pours clear mber - brown with handsome off -white head. The aroma is biscuit, bread, earth, wood, toasted nut, cereal, underlying sweetness and some fruit cake. The taste is firm, dry, bitter - sweet, nutty, dried fruits, fruit cake, twist of orange peel, brown bread, digestive biscuits, earth and some leafiness with a dry, toasty grain finish. Average body and fine - moderate carbonation. Perfectly fine bitter and a good tribute a once pretty great cask ale.

500ml bottle from Westhill Service. It pours fairly clear for the style.... orangey - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, tropical fun times, passion fruit, tangy pineapple, peach, mango, floury bread and powdered donuts. The taste is fairly crisp, dry, bitter, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, pomelo, tropical vibes are there but take more of a backburner than on the aroma, pineapple, touch green, waxy, peppery spice, floury bread and a touch of green vibes with a drying, zesty finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Not sure I would quite call it NEIPA style, but I actually quite like it.
