Oct 2, 2008 <b>Objectively speaking:</b>
Draught @ Barley’s number 1. Very light and not particularly tasty brewpub scottish ale. The 6.6% goes unnoticed.
<br />
<b>I like:</b>
Unexpected fruity notes reach beyond the usual caramel to discover apricot territories.
<br />
<b>I dislike:</b>
Simplistic. No hops noticeable. Very light-bodied, yet malt oriented clearly. Poor, sloppy texture. Grainy maltiness, sweet and dull.

Jan 23, 2006 Sampled from a growler courtesy of kp: Pale transparent golden pour has a thin, lightly-lacing white head. Dry, lightly earthy and grainy malty aroma has a hint of floral hops. Starts with lots of sweet sugary malt and grainy flavor. Full, sticky malty body is slightly underattenuated.

Jan 15, 2006 Growler @ KP’s cellar. Poured a clear light amber color with a thin almost white head. Aroma was sweet with light molasses, touch of honey, and some fruit. Malty flavor was sweet with mostly caramel. Acidic finish had a mild bitterness. Soft and velvety.
