Bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a decent off white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, sappy, resin, wood, toffee, blood orange, marmalade and brown bread. The taste is dry upfront, bitter - sweet character, sappy wood, resin, leather, pithy, zesty, orange marmalade, leafy, slightly dusty, brown bread and a touch of tannin with a drying, zesty finale. Average body and moderate carbonation. A decent red by all accounts.

500ml bottle from Hop Shop Aberdeen. It pours hazy golden with a handsome white head. The aroma is bright, fresh, tropical fruit juice, pineapple in particular, mango, nectarine and fruit salad. The taste is dry upfront, touch green/weedy, light herbal bitterness, smooth malts, floury bread, tropical fruits and citrus and pithy rind with a dry finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. I am usually apprehensive about a new regional brewery's attempt at a hazy pale, but this one is decent, the aroma is particular.
