tombyars (672) - Saltcoats, SCOTLAND - JAN 23, 2012
First tasted this in the Hogshead, Paisley in May 2000. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear pale straw in colour with a thin white head. Zesty grapefruit peel in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a juicy fruit base of grapefruit and shebert lemon long in intensity. Dusty dry hops give a clean citric bite to the aftertaste. Finish is clean and refreshing with pithy grapefruit to the fore. An ideal summer session Golden Ale but very alike to Peters Well though.

Cask Handpump at the Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield 16/12/2006 (As St Mirren Champion Ale) Citrussy hop aroma. Clear golden coloured very hoppy and fruity lime and pine flavours. Very creamy smooth slightly dry malt finish.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - MAY 30, 2006
Aroma gives houston floral grassy hops. Taste is similarly light with a well balanced session goodness to it. 3.7% which makes me believe this is actualy killilan.
