Scotland 05. Golden with a delicious head and a nice fruity/flowery and malty aroma. The flavour has a light honey sweetness and nice notes of fruit, flower and malt. It’s uncomplicated, quenching and refreshing, og it has a lot of flavour in spite of the only 3.8% - neat!

Cask@GBBF2007. Yellow colour, big creamy white head. Aroma is herbs, hoppy fruits and some vegetables. Flavour is very wooden, hoppy (flowery and fruity) along with grass and slight burnt notes. Leaves a nice wooden and flowery flavour in the aftertaste.
