2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from the Cromwell Road Sainsbury’s. Pours golden amber with some white bubbles. Not getting much nose. Med body. Flavor is a little bready, and I can imagine some hop. It is fairly dry, but not getting significant bitter. Fresh and zesty? Really? It does have a certain kick, and it’s drinkable. But?
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle drunk at the Erskine Bridge Hotel. Medium golden colour with a small head. Lightly carbonated.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml bottle. Pours clear straw colour with a small head that dissipates to nothing. Mild grassy and slightly soapy aroma. Some floral and herbal flavoirs with some honey. Certainly more focus on the hops than in the vast majority of lagers with a more bitter finish too. Pretty enjoyable, I could drink a fair bit of this.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sehr milder Antrunk mit geringem Hopfen. Milde Bitterkeit, süffig, harmonisch. Passend hopfig-bitterer Ausklang. Gelungen! 10/11/11/11/10/10
2 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 9/20
Aroma 7? It doesn’t smell of anything at all. So does that mean it must get 0? I’ll give it 1. Taste not so irrelevant but not that interesting either. Does what you’d hope given what it is and who has put their name on it. Ok.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Refreshingly refreshing. Subtle soapy flavour. Is it zesty? Not sure. I’ll check...hmmm, a bit. I wish I’d been named after someone inspirational. I was named after an off licence, (they didn’t like Peter) which is probably appropriate if a little depressing.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
500 mL bottle from Sainsbury’s into a pint glass at home. Almost clear, golden, short lived head. Nice fresh and zesty hop aroma. Crisp, citrusy, almost a golden ale. Not bad for a lager.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Brewed by Harviestoun, this bears a strong resemblance to Harviestoun’s own Schiehallion lager. The main difference is that this is 4.1% rather than Schiehallion’s 4.8%. It looks the same and smells and has that same citrusy aroma and taste. It doesn’t taste quite as good, but it is still a fine lager, and a regular purchase.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JAN 14, 2013 Bottled 22/12/12. A golden beer which poured with no head. Peachy and with tropical fruit in the nose. Bitter and hoppy in the mouth. Tropical fruit again. A nice hoppy well brewed lager. Score 3.4
Subsequent rating scored 3.1. Average becomes 3.3
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
500ml bottle. Yellow amber colour, thin white head and floral sweet citrus hop aroma. Crisp bitterness with biscuity hop taste, citrus notes, and a lingering dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
