Cask; Regular.
It is the perfect ‘session beer’ a well balanced malty, hop blend containing suggestions of liquorice and burnt toffee with a characteristic nutty aroma. A percentage of the proceeds from the new Red Squirrel will go to various charities that will help conserve the red squirrels on the Isle of Arran and around the world.

Benjii (2328) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - DEC 29, 2011
On cask at Cloisters. Pours an amber colour with a thick white head. Aroma is quite yeasty with Weetabix, caramel, cereal and light black pepper. Flavours of yeast, caramel and biscuity malt. Mild carbonation and an oily mouth-feel. Just a little thin with alcohol and yeast lingering.

Cask in Blackfriars. Alround rating: A fairly boring malty bitter, some grassy bittering hop. But pritty boring stuff.
