Cask in the Bon Accord. Aroma is pale malts, some honey, grassy and slightly citrus. Taste is similar,m however everything is very minimal and unexciting.

Orangey appearance with a good sized head. Scent is of citrus hops with some nuts also. Some sweetness in the front, then a bitterness creeps up on you. Some dryness on the end. Lots of fruity hops: tastes mainly of mandarine, some earthy notes. I liked this a lot and mine was full of aromas, unlike some of the other comments here.

Bottled. Orange amber with slight mist and some lace. Bready malt nuttiness in the aroma, piney hop and some candyish sweetness. Earthy hop fruitiness hinting at apple, buttery malt, yeast, lemony hops, grain, some unpleasant alcohol/soapy bitterness. Whiskeyish afters not doing it for me. Faint conifer and buttery sweetness. OK.
