Supplier: Luvians Bottle Shop - St Andrews
This is a relatively new brewery starting in the beginning of 2012 in Stirlingshire. They focus on creating beers from the best quality ingredients including Scottish mountain water. I would describe them as a new world brewery as they are not adverse to using hops from all over the globe, and lots of them.

Appearance: Candied orange colour with a thin and fading white head and lots of large bubbles.
Aroma: Some sweet resiny hops and some dried orange peel, hints of caramel malts in the background.
Flavour: Bitter upfront with not much of the hop flavours coming through, this bitterness leads into a burnt malt back. Some chemical flavours coming through. The bitterness starts to overtake it a bit too much with drinking.
Body: Very watery and sticky bubble, a bit like water with washing up liquid in. Very wet on the front with a dry back back that escalates with drinking.
Aftertaste: Constant bitterness with little flavour, the chemical flavours come through more at the back.
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 3.
Price Range: £2.00 for a 330ml bottle. Cheap, but tastes cheap so I wouldn't buy it again.
Food Pairings: Something sweet to offset the bitterness. The best would be lemon/orange moist sponge cake.
