Cask at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Pale brown colour. Malty fruit on nose with hops like a good IPA used to be. Raspberry malty fruit in mouth with a dry hoppy finish. Excellent beer

Cask conditioned - handpump - Wellington - Birmingham. A mid brown to amber coloured beer with a slightly fruity aroma. The taste is berry fruits and some maltiness. Ok but nothing special.

Quite similar to this years flying scotsman(05), ruby dark apperance. A take away from the usual cali hoppiness, slight burnt malts, nice session beer, similar to cali 80. Defo one to try if u see it about.

Flowery taste and was very nice, better than the sister Caledonian brew also had at the time. Good beer to kick back with at a pub. Had on cask at the Henglar’s Circus (JD Wetherspoon’s), Glasgow. Seagulls are on the label.
