Bottle from Beer Merchants. It pours slightly hazy golden - blonde with a fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly baked bread, sponge cake, warming spice, clove, toasty grains, cereal and only a hint of banana. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, rather clean and fresh, toasty grains, cereal, wheat crackers, bread, baked goods, mellow spice and a hint of banana (but very mellow for the style) and a touch of orange marmalade. Finish is clean and dry. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Lovely balance and high drinkability. Nice one!

Can from Aldi Inverurie. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a thick fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy and ripe, mango, apricot, nectarine, peaches & cream, orange creamsicle, bready, biscuit and some greenness. The taste is pretty smooth upfront, bittersweet, green, herbal, grassy, sticky, pithy, grapefruit, lemon rind rind, orange creamsicle, mango, brioche bread and biscuit with a soft finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough, but not sure I would pick it out of a hazy line up.

Keg at Fierce Bar Abz. It pours clear deep amber with a thick, fluffy off - white head. The aroma is woody, nutty, cereal, leather, sappy, brown bread, oatcakes, chai latte and cacao nibs. The taste is dry, nip of bitterness, woody, earthy, tannin, resin, toasty spice, brown bread, oatcake, muted caramel, chai latte spice, cinnamon bark and malt loaf with a drying and bitter woody finale. Average body and average, slightly prickly carbonation. Has a good depth of flavour. Mayen not as drinkable as one would expect for the abv, but definitely interesting. Would be good to see a higher abv version (7 - 8%).
