Bottle. Pours a clear pale amber colour with a thin white head. The aroma is full of citrus notes. The taste is very light with full of citrus with a slight biiter taste.

I wasn’t really looking forward to this after my disappointing encounter with Arran Dark, but I have to admit that I really enjoyed this brew, Light and refreshing but still satisfying, good balanced palate, nicely hopped, just slightly sweet. Good stuff.

Bottle: Slightly unclear, deep golden to light amber coloured, small and stable off-white layer with a little lace, distinctive, almost peppery hoppy nose, underpinned by fruity malt and toasted malt; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; lingering dryish spicy hoppy finish, backed by traces of toasted malt. Good, decent stuff........

Bottled. A copper coloured beer with a minimal head. The aroma has nice fruity hops. Quite orange and lemony notes. The taste is also nice and hoppy. Citrus flavours. Quite fresh tasting with no nasty pasteurization notes.
