Cask - I think it was at Three Judges, Glasgow. A golden beer with a thick creamy beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, leading to a boring very lightly bitter finish. The mouthfeel is creamy.

Very light, cerealic and pretty much nothing else, offering of a hazy amber colour and nitro head. Stunningly bland as it tries to develop its soul around graininess, but fails as vegetals peak up in the shape of corn. Simple and poor flavoured. Light foamy palate. Very dull drink.

Keg at Gallus, Glasgow. Copper colour with lasting beige head. Caramel aroma, caramel in mouth. Fine, just dull and lacking flavour.

Orange, amber colour with a dense white head. sweet fruity aroma with a light caramel note and some vague herbal hints. Malty, light caramel sweet flavor with a light vegetable note.
