2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
First tasted this in the Hipflask, Saltcoats in August 1998. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale gold in colour with a thick creamy white head. Hoppy floral notes in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give digestive biscuit flavour with tart grapefruit. Hop resins in the short aftertaste are weak and short lived. Finish is bitter sweet with a malt edge. Found this ale poor in flavour and lacked complexity.
