2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
AROMA: bread, hay, barnyard, dough
APPEARANCE: golden, clear, head frothy white then quickly minimal
TASTE: medium sweetness, medium bitterness, not balanced well
PALATE: medium body, sticky, lively, long mildly bitter aftertaste
OVERALL: not bad, but the sweetness does not match well with the bitterness, refreshing at first, but with a lingering sweet sticky taste.

Golden pour with a white head. Pear and pineapple aroma. Fruity nose. Fruity-hop kick. Pear and yellow melon flavour. Crisp, fruity finish. Quite nice.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Tesco Danestone in Aberdeen. It pours clear golden yellow with a medium foamy white head and low to moderate carbonation. The nose is sweet malt, straw, hay and a hint of citrus. The taste is hay, straw, honey, pine, sweet malt, biscuit, citrus, white sugar and a little alcohol warmth, with a sweet malt finish. Ok, but unexciting.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle, shared with friends. Golden beer with no foam. Aroma is hoppy and light sweet, with a light fruitiness also. A nice agreeable hoppy taste, light sweet, also with the light fruitiness. Not exactly a topper, but a decent beer to drink.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled as itself, gift from Scotland.Pours golden with a big frothy white head.
Hoppy aroma. Taste is nice balanced, mellow and clean. Crisp hops at the end, dry.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle (as itself) from The Wine Cellars, Lutterworth. Pours brassy gold with a skim of white; aroma chewy dried fruit including apricot and fig, with some background cake and brine. Full and soapy with notes of Honey and Lemon Lockets, pine, sultana and malt loaf. Just a hint of marzipan hinting at the ABV. Certainly not a hint of NZ hop fruitiness, which really would give it a lift. Nothing wrong with it: just a pretty dull 6% strong ale.
