Jan. 3. 2018: 500 ml bottle, BB date 09.17, from Aberdeen Country Fair. ABV is 6.2%. Called a "Belgian IPA", the IBU is 80. Orange to amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of fruity Belgian ale yeast and fruity and earthy hops. The flavour is well hopped throughout, with fruity, earthy and herbal hops. Hints of spicy Belgian ale yeast, but despite the yeast, this is definitely more of an IPA than a Belgian ale with regard to style.

Pours clear amber with thick lasting white head. Taste: syrupy, toffee. Mouthfeel: sweet rather than dry. Overall: great formulation by a homebrewer.

Very subtle hop flavour and a weak mouthfeel. This brings nothing new to the table. Refreshing but too drinkable for a relatively strong beer by British standards. It's nice but not worth the first world price in the supermarket.

12oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy golden color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of yeast, caramel and citrus. Tasted of caramel and citrus. Kind of bland.

L- Very deep golden amber. Pours with 3mm white head quite swiftly clearing towards lacing. Very slightly hazy with some tiny particles floating around visible.
S- Some stone-fruit on the nose, over towards peach or apricot.
T- Fresh, hoppy, develops into a bitter edge, then stone-fruit, and then some richness. Quite a long path! It is just on the hoppier-dry side for me, but it also comes with some subtlety and balance; it's no contempory 'hop-bomb'.
F- Refreshing, but I think you need to serve this well chilled, as as it warms the richer side of it grows. That's richness as in a sweet facet rather than richness from the 6.2%
O- I started off quite positive on this but as I sip my way through it the sweet aspect is rising and I'm finding that pretty odd and unwelcome. Not one I'd wish to drink again.
I nearly confused this with this beers namesake from Stickman Brews of Pennsylvania, USA, and had that on my Got's list until now. Take care to ID this the Scottish one.
Not sure where I bought this in London, perhaps Waitrose. BB 08/2019.

Nice balanced ale with subtle malty overtones. Does not taste or smell very hoppy considering the blend of 6 different hops. Definitely unfiltered with lots of nice green particulates in the glass. Pours copper brown with a thin head.
