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.

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 handpull at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Gold, lasting beige head. It’s fine. Citrusy bitter with some tangerine. Good condition, decent hop on end and nice citrus flavours overall. Considering I had a whopping hangover, this was perfectly acceptable.

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.

3 Judges. Aroma is caramel and hints of toffee malt but grassy hop dominated. Taste is more balanced caramalt with grassyness and hints of citrus at the end.

(RBESG 2007, Cask at the Halfway House, Edinburgh) Golden color, small head. Quite weak hoppy aroma. Hops in flavor, a bit dry and malty notes.
