Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
This exceptional ale is brewed to the exacting standards required by the Soil Association Certification Ltd. of the United Kingdom. The malt is prepared from Organically grown Scottish barley. The hops are grown in New Zealand where the absence of pests means high quality hops can be grown organically. The pure water comes from the rolling Scottish Border hills. The end result is a light golden coloured beer full of flavour and aroma. A refreshing clean tasting beer with an excellent hop aroma and aftertaste.

Quite a surprisingly pleasant beer, sampled as Marks & Spencer Organic ale. It poured a light colour with a larger slightly off white head. The nose was fresh and with a combination of hops with a light, sweet fruitiness. This continued through to the mouth; a nice balance that left a clean crisp taste with a slight note of lingering hops. Not the greatest beer on the planet but fine for a hot summers day.

Bottle 50cl.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a average, frothy, fair lancing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, øko alike. Flavor is moderate sweet and light to moderate bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. (180508)

50cl bottle as Marks & Spencer Oranic Ale. Slightly hazy amber with a thick off-white head; aroma has grass and citrus; fruity malt flavour, rather sweet; grapefruit zest and tartness to the finish which is sustained.

Orange gold with a white head. Faint aroma, mainly malt, I thought. Sweet, malty taste with a sharp bitter finish. Very fizzy. I found this a bit dull and uninspring.
