Cask version tasted in Sept. 2003: Another descent beer from Caldonian Brewery. Had a thin white head with a golden color and light clean taste.

Cask in a J.D. Wetherspoon, London
Blond color, thin head. Malty and nutty aroma and taste (hazelnuts and cashews), fudge, a touch of honey. Balanced. Quite interesting.

Cask, Last Plantagenent, Leicester. Golden with a dense white head. Aromas are soft and buttery, fresh, with spices and sulphur. Flavours are caramel malts with hops spices and a light fruitiness. Also, has some toastiness. Not bad.

NOt bad, it was Golden, endeed, but the foam, at least was there, not like other ales that have a bubbling something at the top. Besides that, it was nice.

Pint pulled at JDW The Railway (Putney, London) as part of their Great Autumn Beer Festival. Yellow gold in colour with a frothy medium head. A smoky malt and burnt caramal aroma. Reasonably smooth, but I found the taste too strong of vanilla and butter.

Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Golden colour with thin off white lasting head. Smell of hay and butter, bit of ginger and caramel flavour in mouth. Finish has good tangy hop. Better on cask than in bottle. Malts have nice biscuitiness

Good Caledonian brew. Nice golden colour and white head, doesn’t last too long tho’. Soft sweet malt dominates, light citrus hops are there but these are played down. Good flavoursome ale, but this has lost some of its character over the years. Weatherspoons,Gala.
