Cask at Guildford Arms, Edinburgh 11 Nov 08. Golden colored. A small creamy white head. Sweet fruity aroma. Flavor even more fruity. OK but not great.

Half pint, handpulled at Guildford Arms in Edinburgh. Lacing-head. Naked, clear amber body. Fruitlike aroma and taste – a bit like fruit cake. Underpinning bitterness, but overall quite anonymous [11.11.2008].

1/2 pint cask, Guildford, Edinburgh. Light amber colour with a creamy off-white head. Crisp malty aroma. Light prickly hop bitterness when it enters the mouth. Gentle crisp amlty rich roasted flavour with a good solid hoppy and bitter background. Sourish crisp mouthfeel, especially in the finish. Very drinkable. Leaves a drying sensation in the mouth.
