2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught @ the Mill Bank, Coulter. Pours a golden-orange wih gentle bubbles and a reasonable head. The nose has raisins, malt and a hint of grapefruit. The taste has grapes and then malt. The palate is medium bodied, quite creamy and then the finish is a bit more malt than hops. Overall, this is quite good initially but it is let down by the finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A slightly sulphorous and English hop bitterness on the nose with an initially malt sweetness and lemon. This becomes progressively more bitter with a crystal malt finish and underlying flintiness. Medium amber with a fluffy white head which collapses to a thin lacing. Draught at royal Macintosh, dunbar.

Had this on tap at Flying Saucer. Was really good, though not as hoppy as a traditional IPA. The initial taste was sweet with roasty malts notes. Ended with a bittersweet taste. Not bad.
