Cask. The Three Judges, Glasgow. Golden color with a white head. Aroma: A bit sourish, yeast, lightly toasted. Flavor: A bit of fruitiness, grain/wheat, a bit sourish, very little hops.

First tasted this in Blackfriers, Glasgow in December 2005. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale amber in colour with a thin creamy white head. Slight citric note in the short aroma. Good lacing and a thin mouthfeel. Pale malts give a weak malty base with lemon zest and tart grapefruit evident. Slight flavour of hop resins which fade too soon. Bitter sweet finish. Like a spring ale in style and ideal as a quick thirst quencher before moving on to better things.

cask at cloister ... golden yellow ... light lemon hop ... light soft hop ... light easy ... decent enough

Cask. Creamy white head atop a pale amber brew. Good balance of hop flavour, aroma and bitterness; quite grassy and spicy, with pale malts and caramels. A bit lean but nice overall.

Cask Handpump at the Halfway House, Edinburgh 22/09/2007 Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and fruity with a crisp and dry slightly bitter finish.

From cask at Bon Accord. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small and creamy white head. Dry hoppy and vague citrusy aroma. Mild malty flavoured and with a light fruity hops note to a mild bitter brew. Light malty and medium dry bitter finish. Crisp and easy.

Cask. The Three Judges, Glasgow. Golden color with a white head. Aroma: A bit sourish, yeast. Flavor: A bit of fruitiness, grain/wheat, a bit sourish, very little hops. Not bad but pointless.

On tap: Deep golden to light amber coloured, small foam, sticking to the glass; distinctive fruity (raspberries) and malty nose; moderate bitter, a bit sweetish flavour, light bodied; fruity-bitter finish with a light sourness. O.K., decent stuff.........

Cask@The Blackfriars, Glasgow. Clear golden colour, fine white head. Anonymous citrus hop aroma. Bitter citrus, even woody flavours. Medium body, sticky head. A nice session beer.

[cask at The Three Judges] Pale yellow with only a little head. Fruity apricot notes, faintly leafy hops, breadish french stick aromas. Light body with a little sweetness upfront and a dry finish which leaves more breadyness.
