Cask at The Redgarth, Oldmeldrum. It pours crystal clear yellow with a medium, frothy head. The aroma is fresh, bright floral character, touch of elderflower, zingy, zesty, tangy lemon - lime, tangerine and clean malt base. The taste is firmly dry, pleasing level of bitterness which lingers, clean malt base, fragrant, floral, pine, pithy, zesty, tangerine peel, keffir lime and a touch of peppery spice with a crisp, dry finish. Light body and well appointed cask carbonation. Clean, bright, floral and zesty. Hard to beat outside on a sunny spring's day. Quenching dot com.

Can from Raynville Superstore. It pours jet black with a thick, lasting khaki head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, dark chocolate, coffee beans, chocolate covered coffee beans, bitter - sweet character, tobacco, slightly charred, rocky road, dried fruits, toasted fruit cake and toasted brown sugars. The taste is smooth, rich roasted malt, bitter - sweet, toasty spice, umami, liquorice, dark roasted coffee, cacao nibs, premium dark chocolate, charred wood, burnt toast, tobacco and restrained alcohol presence with a rich roasted finish. Fulsome (but not heavy) body and moderate carbonation. Absolutely love this. Flavourful, good depth and balance. No crappy adjuncts I'm the mix. Delectable.

Can for Pursuit of Hoppyness, Glasgow. It pours clear pale straw yellow with a dissipating white head. The aroma is quite savoury, herbal, nutty, tangy, zingy, gooseberry, lemon, grape must, cereal and nougat. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, muted acidity, lemony, slightly herbal, damp grass, straw, white grape skin, gooseberry, white wine mellow notes of vanilla and nougat and biscotti with a smooth finale. Light body and fine carbonation. Woodruff isa really interesting addition, and I. My opinion, works.

Cam from pursuit of Hoppyness, Glasgow. It pours clear pale straw yellow with a fizzy white head. The aroma is fragrant, herbal, savoury bay, zingy, tangy, soda water with lemon, brie, straw and hay. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, some minerality, straw, hay, lemon - lime, fragrant, herbal, white wine spritz, savoury and salted cracker with a short, dry finish. Light body and moderate, spritzy carbonation. The bay adds an interesting element, but don't think this is he beat iteration.

The aroma is bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, intoxicating, rich chocolate character, chocolate bourbon biscuits, dried fruits, toasted fruit cake, fruity whisky character, quite maritime and savoury through the back end. The taste is initially deceptively smooth, bitter - sweet, dark roasted malt, whisky soaked oak, chewy, toothy, plenty of dried fruits, raisin, sultana, fig, toasted fruit cake, slightly medicinal, warming booze, quite savoury, some umami, liquorice allsorts and toasty spice with a warming, dried fruit finale. Medium+ body and fairly mellow, soft carbonation. Dangerously drinkable. Nice depth of flavour.

Can shared by my bro. It pours hazy orangey - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, ripe, orange creamsicle, mango, fruit pie, nectarine apricot, touch green, weedy and fruit salad sweets. The taste is smooth, juicy, fairly sweet, touch green, apricot, peach, tangerine, orange creamsicle, fruit salad, orange squash, touch green, weedy and brioche with a smooth finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Super fruity, but a bit sweet if truth be told. Missing that fyne ales bitterness. Decent nonetheless.
