Bottle from Lidl, Inverurie. It pours clear piss yellow with a bubbly white head. The aroma is fresh hoppy vibes, grassy, pine, crunchy apple, pear drops, melon, lime sherbet and apple skin. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, puckering, zingy and tangy, light acidity, lime sherbet, plum, crunchy apple, white grape and pear with a drying finish. Average body and fine, spritzy carbonation. I like the balance to it. Super chuggable.

Cask at The Howff, Aberdeen. It pours crystal clear golden witt a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fragrant, floral, orange blossom, tangerine, kumquat, apricot and biscuity malt. The taste firmly dry, decent bitterness which builds, snappy biscuit, pithy, zesty, grapefruit, waxy orange peel, dull marmalade and floral accents with some toasty grain through quite a bitter finish. Average body a decent fluffy cask carbonation. Easy going hoppy blonde ale. Far from a game changer, but drinks fine.
