Three judges. Aroma has grassy and citrus hints, pale malt. Taste is similar biscuity malt and fruity.

Clear dark golden pour. The head is small and white. Rather bright and hoppy aroma where flowery notes are plentiful. Grainy, fresh and soft malts. Hay-like all along with soft tea cookies undertones. Almost honeyed at times. Malt oriented and aromatic offering, but a bit oxidized, perhaps not in its freshest condition.

Cask handpull at Three Judges, Glasgow. Copper colour with lovely aroma. Some tangerine. Good citrus. Good acidity on the end. Bit of nettle on the hop.
