Mar 24, 2008 Cask at The Cask and Barrel, Edinburgh. A golden beer with a thin dense lazing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel - and so is the flavor.

Oct 1, 2007 Strong sparkler white foam covers the golden body veiled by a light haze. Well hopped this! Highly flowery, lightly lemony and brightly extracted. Firm bitterness in the finish. Really drinkable, but perhaps a bit too grainy in its maltiness that does not really follow any other discipline. I found it to be a very impressive and tasty low ABV ale, perhaps one of the nicest cask ale I’ve had in Scotland and I’m afraid to say that unsurprisingly, it is not Scottish.

Amber colour. Red and green apples in flavour. Bit eggy. Soft mouthfeel. Low bitterness.

Aug 30, 2007 Cask conditioned at The Cask & Barrel, Edinburgh. Served too warm. Amber colour, creamy head. Very nice aroma of fruity and zesty hops, hints of blackcurrants and maybe some balsamic vinegar. The flavour did not take advantage of the beer being served too warm. Biscuity flavour with tolerable hops, but not very exciting.

Aug 30, 2007 Cask, Cask and Barrel, Edinburgh, RBESG 07. Coppery, thin off-white head. Nose is quite malty, some fruit. Mouth malty, some fresh summer fruit, a little lemongrass too. Little bit dry. Alright
