Clockwork Irn Fist
330ml bottle. Black with a stupidly lively head. Roasted malt aroma, flavour has roasted malt, grass, and a strange sweetness that might actually be Irn Bru. Not great

Clockwork / Pot Still Skinny Malinky
Jan 2018 - Cask handpull at the auld Pot Still, Glasgow as 'Clockwork / Pot Still Skinny Malinky', brewed as an anniversary beer for something - no idea what. Pours a golden yellow, clear and still with a dense white head. Aroma is lemongrass in a big way, lemonade. Body is smooth with soft carbonation. Taste is again crazy lemongrass, mostly lemongrass, straw, quite soapy. I'm not sure how much of this I could drink, but it's quite fun. (6-4-5-4-13=3.2)

Clockwork Oregon IPA
330ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a white head. Unfiltered. Nose is orange/lemon and lime zest. Citrus juice and wheat malt. Taste is sweet, apricot, citrus zing with a malty wheat biscuit. Dry on the palate with a citrus zing at the sides of the mouth. Light to medium bitterness, touch of pine, floral lavender on the finish. Refreshing. More like a Belgian Wit crossed with a pale ale though.

Clockwork Oregon IPA
Keg at Clockwork Beer Company. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Low carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of grain, apple peel and biscuit. Flavour of biscuit, pine and a citrus finish. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. Pretty good, but it could do with a bit more fizz.

Clockwork Hoptopussy
Tasted this at the Milngavie Beer Festival on the 2nd September 2017. Keg dispense. Cloudy amber in colour with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma with a light lemon fruit present. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Light digestive biscuit base noted but fades fast as citrus fruits dominate in the mouth with gooseberry, lemon and lime evident. Aftertaste is hoppy with citrus resin imparting a pithy zest to the palate. Finish is hoppy with dry lemon citrus notes but starts to run out of ideas and tails off heavily. A one dimensional IPA to be honest and not the best in their portfolio.

Clockwork Oregon IPA
Tasted this at the Milngavie Beer Festival on the 2nd September 2017. Keg dispense. Opaque gold in colour with a thin white head. Strong hoppy aroma with fresh grass notes much in evidence. Thin resiny mouthfeel and excellent lacing. Pale malt gives a robust digestive biscuit backbone which remains lurking in the background. Juicy notes of lychees present in the bitter hoppy aftertaste. Dry citrus notes come through in the bitter hoppy but citric finish. A decent American Pale Ale.

Can @cgarvie (1st May, the May Day Tasting, rating backlog). Pours yellow and hazy, white head. Nose is ginger and lemon, it smells like a cold and flu hot drink. Taste is the same as above it is like drinking a beer version of Lemsip.

Mostly clear yellow beer, white head. Grassy grapefruit aroma. Same comes through in the taste, Some lemon, a very light touch of sweetness. Not much else to it and it’s a touch watery but it’s not bad. very drinkable if unremarkable.

Cask at the Brewpub. Mahogany and translucent with a big cream-coloured head. Malt loaf and stone fruit dominate the aroma with a touch of smoky liquorice. Tastes sweet and fruity but there is a dry herby bitter hoppiness in the finish. Body’s a bit on the thin side and there is the slightest astringency to it. OK but I think I wanted a tiny bit more.

Clockwork Pacific Pale Ale
Cask pint at brewpub (£3.60):
This one proved to be another fairly disappointing offering from Clockwork & in the end it proved to be quite a flat, one-dimensional beer that had little showing to keep me interested. For the most part, there wasn’t a whole lot going on with the beer other than some strong bitterness & plenty of lemon/citrus flavours but it wasn’t enough to allow me to enjoy the beer & it’s not one that I plan on trying again either; poor stuff again from Clockwork.

Maclay Oat Malt Stout
From old rating notes taken around 2000. "Durable head, creamy and rich, but the pleasures lessened about halfway through as an astringent, slightly metallic aftertaste took over." Still, must not have been all bad with a 3.2 rating.

Clockwork Cartside Red
Pint on cask from Clockwork Beer Co, brewpub:
This one was a locally brewed beer that I was quite looking forward too and one that turned out to be a real disappointment in all honesty, it was just far too bitter and quite one-dimensional. Some nutty flavours and the odd appearance of some hops bit help out some but the overriding flavour was the earthy bitterness and it ended up being a little boring and ordinary really.
