The bottle I found of this one said "the scottish pale ale" on it but it was clear form the first pour and sniff that this was really a bitter. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the confused beer poured a caramel color with a small white head. The aroma was malty and sweet. The flavor had a sour malt and light nut flavor with a off flavored finish. A drinkable bitter but a beer with an identity problem.

Bottle purchased at Belmont Station in Portland, Oregon--Poured a bright golden-copper hue with a thick white head. Lemony, crisp, biscuit nose. Rich, full mouthfeel with a creamy, caramel UK flavor. Citrus hops and bready malts. Session-worthy and very clean in the end. Very nice.

Light copper color. Nose is bready and nutty. Flavor is biscuity, toasty, buttery, and nutty, but taste dies quickly, not much finish. A bit astringent, bottle may have been somewhat oxidized.

Hand pulled at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. Honey gold colouring. Spicy bitterness, Golden qualities. Some honey and lemon present, but this was a little bit conservative.

Pours a almost orange out of the bottle with a small white head. Aroma is very musty with some hops in there. Flavor is very citrusy. I can get some orange and apple smokyness. Leaves a real bitterness on the tounge. Finish is thin and watery.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Edinburgh. Amber with a loose, fast-fading, white head; slightly spicy, orange aroma; fruity orange flavour with sticky sweet malts; clean bitter finish.

Amber with a white fleeting head. Straw/grass, herb, hop aroma. Watery texture and light bodied. Flavor was unremarkable. Some at the tasting were waxing poetically about his beer but I fail to see the attraction.
