Caledonian Golden Promise (Cask)

Cask at Bowbar Edinburgh. Pours pale golden, with a thin white creamy head, light, floral flavors with a light bitterness. Little lingering flavor. Finishes crisp.

Cask at Bon Accord, Glasgow. Clear amber colour, small creamy white head. Aroma has some malts and grassy hops. Taste of vegetables, grassy hops. Nice smooth and a slighty bitter finish.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow during their Autumn beer fest in October. Pale gold with a fine white creamy head and loads of lively conditioning. Tasted as fresh as it looked with a scottish maltiness and a subtle hoppy bitter finish.

Cask at the Penny Black, Bicester, JDW, 11-11-07 Poured light golden good clarity with a thin white head. Nice fresh tasting beer something vegetabley about it?? but tastes good there’s something here that I cannot quite put my finger, but I like it.

Cask at Bankers Draft (JDW), Bedford, Wetherspoons Festival ’07. Hazy gold with a small white head. Buttery malt aroma. The taste is intensely sweet and buttery with berry fruits. Slight bitterness. Interesting, arcane, but ultimately unsuccessful.

A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Clean gold with a reasonable white head. Sadly it’s all downhill from there. Diacetyl kills everything that is mildy decent. Slight burnt malt with a hoppy finish but it’s just extremely buttery and close to awful in all honesty.

Fruit, scent aroma. Not too strong. Deep golden appearance with a creamy head. Rich smooth taste, fruit, hops and wheat. Clean taste.

An amber coloured brew, with a light fruity nose mellow tones and tangy orangy flavours
