COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Seasonal - June to August.
Wayfarer India Pale Ale (4.4% abv) is a brilliant golden ale with a dry, refreshing bitterness, in the style made famous by Scottish and English brewers’ exports to slake the thirsts of the Raj.
Small amounts of Crystal Malt, Caramalt and Atlas Malted Wheat are added to our best Pale Ale Malt to give this beer its distinctive caramel-and-biscuit maltiness. This, together with a spiciness from Bramling Cross hops, dominates the appealing nose.
On the palate, the Bramling Cross hops and our yeast combine to produce a distinctive yet delicate orange-marmalade taste.
The aftertaste is dominated by a strong but smooth bitterness, which gives this beer a clean, refreshing finish.

Cask at The Cornwallis Clear golden with a white, bubbly head. Not much aroma, a bit graint. Sweet in flavour with a low bitterness. Grainy maize in the background.

stravale (384) - Inverness, SCOTLAND - DEC 23, 2011
Cask @ Snow goose, Inverness.
Light amber, slight haze, dense white head.
Aroma of light citrus hops, orange and sweet light caramel malts.
Taste - quite strong citrus, grapefruit and orange, some grassy hops and sweet light malts.
Palate - thin to medium body, soft carb, tangy, bit sherberty. Finish of tangy citrus, grassy hops, zesty and quite dry, bit over sour.
A reasonably good beer, but the finish was a bit sour and harsh.

Benjii (1681) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUL 31, 2011
Cask at Cloisters. A golden ale with a lacy white head. Strange caramel sweets aroma. Butter and sugary aromas also. Grapefruit and pineapple flavours with some passion fruit. A little chewy with a dry finish.

BeerCast_Rich (1056) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - JUN 17, 2011
[cask at SRAF’11] Light amber pour with a decent white head. Sweet flowery aroma with some citrus hop. Although the hops are there, I found the whole thing very rich and sweet, almost honey-like. Quite refreshing and very fruity [16062011]

Oakes (9997) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - NOV 6, 2010
Golden colour. Fruity hops and pedio on the nose. It’s quite a unique combination, really. Somewhat bitter, fruity and with background malts.
