Bottle from Beer Merchants. It pours clear golden - brown with a decent khaki head. The aroma is sweet and malt - driven, cola, malt loaf, rather fruity, dried fruits, fruit cake, caramelised brown sugar, brown bread, cereal and toasted nut. The taste is quite smooth initially, then dries, bitter - sweet, toasty grains, brown bread, cola, caramel, ryvita, raisin, sultana, toasted fruit cake, toasted nut, cereal, leafy, woody, splash of dr pepper and malt loaf with a dry, toasty finish. Average body and moderate carbonation..not a huge amount of depth, but balance is good.

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.

7.3/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7.5

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%).

Keg at Fierce Aberdeen. It pours clear golden - amber wig a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, zippy, fragrant, lemony, touch of fairy liquid, toasty grains, biscuit, cereal and some nuttiness. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, peppery spice, grassy, leafy, herbal, floral, soapy citrus, cereal and some nuttiness with a drying, lemon verbena finale. Medium body and fairly high, foamy carbonation. Decent lagerbier. Sits a touch heavier than expected, but still very enjoyable.
