3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Strong sparkler white foam covers the golden body veiled by a light haze. Well hopped this! Highly flowery, lightly lemony and brightly extracted. Firm bitterness in the finish. Really drinkable, but perhaps a bit too grainy in its maltiness that does not really follow any other discipline. I found it to be a very impressive and tasty low ABV ale, perhaps one of the nicest cask ale I’ve had in Scotland and I’m afraid to say that unsurprisingly, it is not Scottish.

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask conditioned at The Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Served too warm. Amber colour, creamy head. Very nice aroma of fruity and zesty hops, hints of blackcurrants and maybe some balsamic vinegar. The flavour did not take advantage of the beer being served too warm. Biscuity flavour with tolerable hops, but not very exciting.
