2.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottled from Brownlie grocers, Biggar. Very pale, but VERY hazy, I think this may be due to the fact that I’ve chilled it! The head is thin and patchy. Light fruity/hoppy nose, and pretty much the same on the palate, The finish is good, lasts well. Was looking forward to this, but the appearance lets it down.

Bottle, Booths, Windermere. Strong fruity aroma hits you straight away. Pleasant looking pale ale with a white head. The citrus aroma is sharp and zesty and gives afaint tingle in the back of the throat, there’s a reasonable amount of dryness in there too.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From cask at Blackfriars. Pours clear and golden yellow with a lacing white head. Aroma is mild citrusy. Light floral too. Smooth malty and light bittered finish with a nice lastinf fruity note. Nice an easy. Crisp and clean.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy golden colour with only a small lacy head. Strong citrus notes on the nose. Flavour is dominated by hops with citrus/flower coming through. Pulls a punch a bit above its strength. Another innovative Scottish Brewery well worth seeking out.
4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Looks like a slightly hazy lager topped with an attractive white head. Aroma packs a flowery, hoppy punch with hints of citrus. The flower/hop notes are, if anything, even more intense in the flavour. Finish is very dry with hints of a wheat beer tang. Similar to the Phoenix Pilsner at Manchester’s Sand Bar. I would love to find this excellent beer on cask.

Golden yellow colour no fizz at all. sherberty flavour with a nice bite on the hops.
