Cask at Hafway House, Edinburgh. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of both malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel and a lightly bitter finish.

Large sparkler’s white head atop a clear golden body. Soft foamy palate is gently mineral, floral. The whole thing is simple and straightforward, but aptly refreshing and balanced. Even though the aroma is a bit limited, cerealic pale malts feel crisp enough and the hops surf on them with natural brilliance.

Cask at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Deep golden. Grassy hops shine up a body consisting of buttery malt. Sweetish and fruity with medium body. Salty bitter finish. Fairly hoppy for a Broughton and with a fresh feel to it.

Cask conditioned at the Halfway House, Edinburgh. Deep golden to amber colour. Moderate aroma, some fruity hops, a hint of malt vinegar. The flavour is moderately malty and "dusty" / dry, with moderate hops in the finish.
