Appearance: On cask, it arrives with a cloudy amber color and a creamy head; nice and sticky with good lacing action
Smell: English malt; fruity with an earthy hop aspect
Taste: Bready malt backbone with vague stone fruit; earthy hops create a decent balance
Mouthfeel: A little thin with too much carbonation
Overall: A decent pub ale but nothing to write home about

650ml bottle. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of caramel, toffee and toasted bread. Sweet caramel taste with mild citrusy bitterness.

4 hops + none turn up. Watery, too. And poor handling by Lidl for the trifecta. Drainpour.

I have been on a work assignment here in Edinburgh for the last several months and I have to say Hollyrood is my favorite local English style Pale Ale. Extremely drinkable, delicious (slight traces of citrus), perfect amount of hops. Great head and lacing. Pint bottles are available at the local Sainsbury grocery store.
