Delt flaske hos Ole Anders des-12: Litt mørkere enn LAF, også her kortvarig skum. Floral aroma og frisk bitterhet. Bra munnfylde, medium og tørr ettersmak. Bitrere enn LAF som vi hadde først. En brukbar golden ale, men ikke i klasse med f.eks Lia Faill.

Aroma: Clean, earthy and malty.

Taste: Lovely balance between deep, earthy malty flavours and very tangy, almost sour, citrus hops. Easy drinking and moreish.

Overall: The best Deeside beer I’ve tried (I’ve had a few, only got round to rating a couple of them) and, to date, my favourite bitter.
