June 2010: 500 ml bottle, thanks to my beerpal Olav who brought it home from the Orkneys. ABV is 3.6%. Crystal clear golden colour, big to moderate white head. Pleasant aroma of fruity hops, notes of tropical fruits. Light bodied. Decent hoppy flavour, some fruitiness first, dry and "dusty" finish. Very nice for its moderate ABV.

Cask pint at Cask & Barrel. Clear golden with a half finger creamy head, lacing. Malty aroma, on the grainy side. Taste is bready, and dry with a silky feel and bitter finish.

Half-pint, gravity fed at the 36th CAMRA Cotswold Beer Festival 21st July 2012.
Golden, almost yellow body with a pure white head.
Mini hop nose, with traces of malty molasses.
The taste was floral hop, light flavoured and also too lightly malted for my sweet malty taste buds.
Only 3.6%ABV I know, but still a bit thin for my liking; didn't hold my interest so l;ooked for something else very quickly.

Light golden amber, with a nice, tight white head. Fresh, bready malts; light toffee and citrusy hops in the scnet. Crisp hops, toffee and bread malts. Pleasant, lightly bitter aftertaste. Smooth, natural carbonation, not overdone but not watery at all. Great session beer.
