Scopey Profile - Brewver

Can from Tesco Danestone. It pours clear yellow with a dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, perfumed, passion fruit juice, sherbety fruit, fruit pastilles, peach and mango. The taste is crisp, dryish, bitter - sweet, damp grain, grassy, herbal, soapy citrus, sherbet, tinned fruit and slightly chemically vibe with a drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. The aroma is decent, but the taste doesn't match up. Meh.

Can picked up at Fountainhall Wines, Stonehaven. It darkest brown to black with a dissipating khaki head. The aroma is freshly made whisky fudge, Scottish tablet, caramac, toffee crisp, dried fruits, raisin, date, fig, cherry, vanilla, cherry Bakewell and toasty malt. The taste is slick, thick, oily, toasty, bitter - sweet, charred oak, umami, liquorice allsorts, burnt toast, whisky fudge, toffee, tablet, savoury edge to it, banana bread, dandelion & burdock, plum pudding and burnt sugar with a warming and roasty finale. Fulsome body, limited carbonation and oily mouth. Lovely depth of flavour, but more carbonation would really lift this.

6.4/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7

Can direct from the brewery. It pours clear deep reddish - amber with a decent off - white head. The aroma is toasty grains, cereal, nuttiness, jam, malt loaf, sponge cake, dried fruits, red berry, liquorice allsorts and varnished wood. The taste is crisp, quite dry upfront, bitter - sweet, biscuit, malt loaf, touch umami, liquorice allsorts, toasty grains, wood and leather with a shortish, drying finish. Average body and moderate carbonation. Not sure what quite makes this worthy of the title celebration ale... Tastes fine though, just lacking some wow factor.

Cerveza Feroz from Fierce Beer Co

Can direct from the brewery. It pours clear yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is zingy, tangy lime, lime sherbet, salty cracker, spicy margarita, bread and subdued spice. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, quite spicy, perhaps overly so, chilli heats you way more than the aroma, peppery burn which lingers, crackery malt, spicy margarita vibes and pithy lime with a longer chilli burn average body and moderate carbonation. Love the idea of this, but think the chilli needs toning down to increase the drinkability.
