Great Ale. Tasted on Cask in pub in Alva, close to the brewery. Maby this ale doesn’t travel, It was superb. Couldn’t recognise the ale from the one I had on bottle several times. Very nice flowery aroma, and especially the palate was like 5 seconds in heaven

Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh. this was the the first time I had this beer and it was a complete revelation. I had never had anything that assailed my senses from the get go like this one. I could sit there all afternoon just enjoying the aroma of lemon citrus and floral american hops. The fact it is only 3.8% amazes me that they can get so much flavour into it. I would happily drink this every week

Guildford Arms, Edinburgh( off princes Street) Fantastic!!! This pub has a vast range of ales and continental beers on draught, I found the Bitter & Twisted to be the best...hoppy and so satisfying, visit if you can!

Clear golden and still, except with a 50% head, which is pretty. This has the aroma of celery which stuck around. The flavor is similarly like a fresh salad ... green and crisp, light and fruity. This would be an AWESOME summertime beer. God, I love beer..

Update: Must have this fresh. It loses its flavor very quickly. But fresh, it is tremendous. Pours the color of Heineken. The taste and aroma are singular--I could name some fruits, like pears and grapefruit, but that misses the point. This simply has to be drunk, as it is a style unto itself. The carbonation is low, but not nitrogen flat. The aroma is smoky fruit, as is the tast, with a soft, light round mouthfeel. Amazing how much flavor is packed into this light ale. Tremendous.
