3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20Clear, lively golden ale. In the aroma the fruit is slightly more dominant than the hope. There are flavours of hopes and fruit but it’s quite a floral beer on the whole. Balanced very nicely and very drinkable.

Mild aroma. Strong fruit in the mouth, grapefruit with a hint of grass and vegetables. Biscuit malt throughout and that sweetness predominates over the hop. Feels a like a classic Pale Ale and tasty. Perhaps turn the volume up on the hops and it would be great!

[330ml bottle, The Beerhive, Edinburgh] Pours a clear golden orange. Some orangey hop on the nose, along with sweet biscuity malt. Orange and peach on the flavour initially, slightly honeyish sweet fruit. The malt then comes through, leading to a bitter finish. It’s decent enough certainly, surprised it didn’t have more of the hop about it, for a USPA [18092012]

UPDATED: NOV 3, 2012 Keg @ The Stockbridge Tap & Cask @ Bon Accord. Orangeish amber colour, good head. Mild biscuit aroma. Unusual dry fruity biscuit flowery bubblegum flavour. Quite sharp on palate. Different one.
