Cask, Sweet Green, Bolton. Burnt Amber colour. Sweet, floral ,orangey taste. Some lingering hops. Nothing to shake the foundations but not without charm.

Cask at the Bon Accord. Aroma is eppery spicey hops, with caramel coming off the malts and i hint of butter. Taste is upfront far maltier and again you can tell thier is butter but hints of tarter fruit over the peppery floural hop.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges as well as hints of diacethyl. The flavor is sweet notes of caramel and a little alcohol, which gives it a nice body.
