Commercial Description:
Ratings for the pasteurised bottle only should go here.

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.

Bottle, 4.5%. Slightly shitty aroma, not too unpleasant though. Clear amber colour. Very small white head. Weak grain flavour, faint hint of butter. Slightly dry finish. All in all a bland beer.

500ml bottle from Dobbies Garden Centre, Reading. Amber with a thin white, head; heavily carbonated with fine bubbles giving a lively mouth feel; some honey on the aroma, but also musty grain; thin with a honeyed sweetness, and a sour and dry finish. Not very impressive.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is harsh grains, vegetables and fruits. Flavour is fruity, a bit egy and flowery hops.

Clear golden with medium white head. Sweet fruity aroma with honey notes. Sweet flavor with cardboard notes and mild hoppy notes leading to a somewhat bitter finish.

Moderate summer quencher. Seemed a bit muddy and ill-defined, like a cheap cask wine. Fizzy-looking gold with a shallow, rocky head. Very sweet and fruity aroma - almost sickly in its fructose intensity. Tinned peach juice and cookie dough. Medium bodied and quite oily. IN the mouth, it’s a whole other bag of fruit. Peach juice again, with a squeeze of blackcurrant. Missing a middle before and acidic, quenching finish. Lacks definition. (500ml bottle courtesy of my old man - thanks Pop. BB 28/6/09)
