Golden with a creamy head, fine lacings. Aroma moderate malty (caramel) and hoppy. Flavor moderate sweet and bitter. Light body. Fine. RichardW (241), Carlisle, Cumbria, England Sep 29, 2009 Cask, Crown, Carlisle. Strong caramel aroma and taste, has lost some of the Caledonian diacetyl, still quite sharp and bitter. No longer the burnt caramel flavour that used to dominate and quite tart towards the end. Not a patch on what it used to be.
