"A light and refreshing beer. A surprisingly full mouth-feel with a superior balance of malt and hop, and a rewarding fruit finish."

Quite nice for a Jock brew. Surprisingly yellow in colour. Sweet a tad flat and tasteless.

Bottle at ÅBF08. Teaish hop aroma. Hazy yellow colour. Small lacy white head. Mild flavour, some hops. Gets a little green apple.

Yellow with a lasting white head. Aroma is malty and fruity, including a note of pear. Sweet and fruity, rather boring flavour.
