Une petite bière surprenante avec un goût appréciable. Une bien belle découverte.
500ml bottle given as a birthday present from Brian - cheers mate. Sampled on the 8th March 2020. Pours a clear pale amber in colour with a thick white frothy head. Aroma is light and citrus with hints of elderflower. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt delivers a weak biscuit malt base with hop resins imparting a tart zesty citrus wash of pineapple and pink grapefruit notes in the mouth. Citrus notes in the dry dusty aftertaste give slight astringency on the palate. Finish is hoppy and floral with citrus pith present. Typical Scottish take on a Golden Ale.
So why is this so popular with the Scots? Probably because of its floral, Scottish taste. Although it may not be for some, this would be a beer that even the ladies would love (Not trying to be sexist)! Smooth, crisp, easy drinking; yet providing a subtle depth of flavours and richness.

26-02-19 // taster at Brauhaus Neulich in Berlin at a bottle share with the team and brewer of the brewpub. CleR golden. Very herbal nose. Quite weird. But not in a bad way. Sweetish malts.
Clear golden colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are predominantly malty. Quite soft and creamy. A little floral hop bitterness in the finish.
Bottle @ You’ll Never Walk Alone, Kolding. Pours clear golden with stable white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with floral and fruity notes and hints of hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour with citric hints and sweetish notes of malt and yeast. Bitter, hoppy aftertaste with estery hints. Light and refreshing, and not bad, if a little watery.
Lemony fresh with white flowers. Has a typical ale finish of bitter grassy hops, maybe a bit of grapefruit on the finish.
Robe dorée, limpide, mousse moyen-faible, carbo moyenne à bulles très fines. Nez légèrement fleuri. Bouche légère aussi, sur le malt, légère amertume houblonnée. Très facilement buvable, bel équilibre, assez frais. Bel équilibre jusqu'en finale, avec une légère amertume et un corps malté délicat.

Bottle shared with JMD on board Fridtjofen 21.05.18. Clear golden. Bright white head and lacing. Refreshing and inviting aroma of lemon, lime and succade. Excellent and well-balanced tasteof citrus and pilsner malt. Excellently quaffable! Crisp and lively mouthfeel. Medium bitterness.
0,5 flaske fra Holmen2 sin importkoffert, delt med ham ombord på Fridtjofen mai-18: klar lys gylden med ok skum. Mild citrusaroma og -smak med appelsinmarmelade og sukat i en meget tiltalende maltkropp. God munnfylde for såpass lett vitaminindhold. Frisk og fruktig bitterhed i afslutningen. Desidert mersmak.
En rigtig sommerøl, god smag af citrus fra humlen, og en masse lyse malte i sødmen.
Bootle from tesco. Nose is bready citrus, some toffee. Palate is some chocolate, orange, citrus, bitter finish. Quite nice
it's nice beer. nice smell and goes down easy. Bought in Aldi and is their best from the craftbeer selection
Bottle. Pale golden colour. Elderflower really comes through with slight malt taste and very little bitterness. Very refreshing.
Forgot just how good this stuff is. 500ml bottle from Aldi or Lidl - not sure which.
It calls itself a summer ale but I could drink it all year round..
Very smooth and pleasant.
Will definitely buy again.
Bottle. Pours golden with white lace top. Aroma floral hops and pale malts. Taste is lightly sweet fruity and medium bitter. Palate is medium bodied, texture is sticky, carbonation average and finish is bitter. A refreshing if unremarkable beer.
Perhaps a bit biased after a month off the beer but this was surprisingly pleasant after a pale straw pour and flowery aroma. Taste is a good balance of citrus and honey notes.
From bottle. Transfer of an earlier rating without text recorded, rating only.
Inoffensive summer ale that improved as it warmed up. Light, some citrus and light malts and watery finish.
Bottle from Moulsham Superstore, Chelmsford. Backlog rating from bottle collection and historic scoring. No tasting notes kept, just rating.
Assez sèche en bouche, très IPA
Nice pale summer ale you notice the subtle elderflower and citra but it doesnt overpower some biscuit in there also.
