Commercial Description:
Only ratings for the cask conditioned version should go here. There is another entry for the bottled version.

A light golden, almost continental lager style beer with a gentle malt flavour. The variety of hops creates a subtle bitterness subsiding to a smooth flavour and aroma. The Cairngorm Mountains stand supreme in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, their vastness and natural unspoilt beauty and abundant wildlife set them aside as some of the finest mountains in Europe.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 4 Dec 2009) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, citrus and honey. Fruity taste with apricots, citrus, grass and malty sweetness. Rather light body. A decent golden ale, but a touch too sweet for my liking.

Cask at Akkura, Stockholm. Hazy golden. Fruity nose. Fairly sweet with rather light body and rounded mouthfee, Low on hops, notes of honey. Low bitterness. A rather unremarkable semi sweet ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Victoria, Clifton, Bristol 29/01/09. Dark gold with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, strawberries and floral hops. Flavour began with a whiff of diacetyl, before some more fruit and a good dry finish. Drinkable.

On draught, Griffin, Carlisle. A very drinkable golden ale, sweet, almost sugary aroma and taste, but not overbearing, making this a really pleasant drink.

On tap at the Halfway House: Deep golden with a small creamy head, shy to moderate hoppy nose; light bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; aromatic hoppiness returns in short bitter-sweet finish. a nice session-beer, but a bit thin........

Halfway house. Aroma is pale hints at biscuity malt, some honey fruit character, not overly sweet but i cant really find hops. Taste is similar though a noteable grassyness kicks in.
