Draught. At Dieu du Ciel during Mondial 2009 - day 1. Cloudy amber with a diminishing foamy/creamy beige head. Simple aroma, light cereal grain and sweet caramel malt, a little floral, if not perfumey. The taste is less sweet, a little dry herbal bitterness balances it out nicely, hardly any alcohol presence at all. Sticky, light, weakly carbonated mouthfeel, quick-finishing, leaves a slightly earthy aftertaste - would be easier to drink in quantity than most of the Scottish Ales I have tried.

Tap. Light to moderate malt notes of roasted and caramel, light herbs and cooked orange for the hops, faint dough for the yeast, with hints of brown sugar and wood. Head is average size, frothy, off-white with fair lacing and is moslty diminishing. Color is muddy reddish brown. Flavor starts faintly sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly acidic. Palate is light to medium, watery with a lively carbonation and a lightly drying finish. A well made beer, fits the Scottish Ale style, but flavor just lacks in this type of beer.

Dark amber pour with 1/2 a finger head. Smoke and citrus lemon with bits of orange dominate the aroma. Flavor is biscuity malt with caramel and an excellent citrus character. Medium body with bone dy finish. Interesting, but not outstanding.

Red-orange pour with a one finger frothy white head. Aroma holds smokiness, along with light citrus and lemon- subtle overall. Flavor is very bready, with yeast, wheat, and other subtle malt notes. Palate is decent for a lighter style. Well crafted brew.
