3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Sainsbury’s Nairn
Light amber, clear, frothy white head that dissipates to thin layer.
Aroma of sweet malts, some sweet candy, bit herbal-vegetal. Quite a light aroma.
Taste of sweet malt, very very slight impression of cinnamon (without the bitterness), herbal slight aromatic notes. Sweet, quite unusual and pleasant.
Palate - soft carb, medium body, bit syrupy texture. Finish - continuation of main flavour, sweet, slight hint of grass, some honey, bit of a sweet linger then clears.
Overall - I have ignored this beer for too long (perhaps the label is offputting) thinking it is some gimmicky beer for tourists. It’s really quite nice, bit sweet to session, but doesn’t taste 5%.

Bottle. Pours clear golden with a medium white head. The aroma is caramel, heather, sweet malt and hay. The flavour is floral and caramelish with notes of heather and sweet malt. Light butterscotch. Sweet malty finish.
2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Lager like, slightly sweet with a hint of malt. Floral on the palate possibly due to the heather

Bottle, shared thanks to Dmac. Pours out a light orange color with a small whispy white head. Aroma is of apples, some caramel, toffee and some sweetness. Taste is sweet honey, flowers, some toffee, caramel and a light bitterness in there also. Body is a bit thin.

Pours a bubbly dark yellow with thin head. Aroma has some serious honey. Also some grapes, grainy malt. Taste is floral, honeyish. Quite sweet body, slightly syrupy, dry finish. It’s like drinking a meadow.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Keg at nobles. Golden with little white head. Strange aroma, heather I suppose. More of the same on the taste, malt and a bit lime. Oily and sticky. Not horrendous
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Clear golden honey, small white head. Smoky, floral aroma. Sweet malt taste, earthy and spicy. Silky mouthfeel, low carbed. Herbal finish. Lovely!

1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Hoppy fruit. Some peach, grape, raisins... Struck me as fairly well balanced and interesting, yet something about this beer made it just taste... bad. Maybe just not for me or I got a bad batch.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle - TWM - Chantilly - pours a clear amber with a bit of white head. Aroma is floral. Taste is faintly dry and bitter. Palate is very watery. Overall meh.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from who the hell knows (Winfield location) Pours yellow with a bit of citrus on the nose and small white head that disappears quickly. it’s drinkable, smooth, and you’d probably be bored if you drank more than one.
