Cask at bridge of Allan brewpub. Pale and clear with thin white head. Light, fruity hops. A little plain.

Cask @ Alloa Real Ale Festival 2011, as Tin Pot Hop Nouveau, 4.5%abv. Clear golden colour, white head. Nose is fruits and candy. Flavour is light hoppy, fruity, slightly caramel, yeasty, bit of candy sugar. Quite odd, but decent in Tin Pot terms.

bottle at home ... hazy amber ... big bubbly white head ... soft light fruit nose ... dull thin ... light lemon hop ... dull ... but perfectly drinkable
