| Philip Pirrip |  | 14 Aug 2013 | First rate, faultless with head and condition. Intriguing sweet and bitterness mix |
Blue Lamp, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire
| Who | Score | When | Notes |
|---|
| McGargle |  | 23 May 2013 | One of Highland's more grainy brews. OK but not quite to my taste. |
| McGargle | | 17 Mar 2013 | Hopy and bitter. Quite dry. |
| McGargle | | 13 Dec 2012 | Lacking in hops and body for a 'stronger' beer it was still clean and refeshing. Served from air font. |

| McGargle | | 25 Nov 2010 | Light golden, good head retention. Peppery/citrussy aromas carry forward to intense hoppy flavour. Well balanced smooth(ish) malts with Maris Otter leading. Well crafted beer served in top condition. |
